Here is the Ohlins XR1200 Front Fork upgrade to progressive spring only for 2008-2009 XR1200.

This will not fit the 2010 and later XR1200 models.

When you want the best for your XR1200 without a riser upgrade in the rear look here: or when you upgraded the rear suspension with: or another brand, we recommand to upgrade the front springs for the Ohlins progressive version.

This combined with a good oil like will give the bike a much better handling,

We also recommand to use a better front fork oil like: Motul W10

Welcome to a perfect world
In a perfect world the suspension of your motorbike would react differently every time. The top half of the spring would be supple and would react flexibly to absorb small bumps and irregularities instantly. As the spring compresses, it becomes more rigid so even large bumps and holes in a road surface will not cause the suspension to bottom out.

For cost-efficiency reasons, new motorbikes are equipped with linear springs. Compressing the top half of this type of spring takes just as much force as compressing the bottom half. The result is that the top of the spring is in fact too rigid and the bottom too supple.

Fortunately, this perfect world does exist. Hyperpro produces progressive springs whereby the top half is easily compressible and compression of the bottom half is much harder. This results in a perfect set-up for every situation. A number of benefits are mentioned below:

Improved braking distance
Whenever you apply the brakes, the pressure on the front wheel increases. Regular springs cause the bike to 'dive' causing the brakes to become less effective. With progressive Hyperpro springs the bike takes less of a dive, the rate of resistance increases which results in an improved braking distance. Not only is this faster on the circuit, it is also safer on the public highway!

Improved motoring performance
Small bumps and irregularities in the road surface get absorbed immediately, large bumps or holes are intercepted by the 'more rigid' part of the spring. This results in perfect harmony between control and comfort.

No resonance
A linear spring has a specific frequency and therefore, could resonate at that particular frequency. Resonance is not only very annoying it can also be dangerous. Progressive springs do not have a frequency so therefore never resonate; an obvious difference!

Always a perfect setup
Progressive springs always adjust themselves instantly to changing circumstances. If you carry a passenger on your motorbike, the spring should provide more resistance and this is certainly the case with progressive springs. Hyperpro progressive springs even respond to the amount of petrol left in your tank.
