ESTABLISHED IN 1958

Our Journey, Hagon Shocks.

Alf also was very well respected in the drag racing scene and held various records with the famous Big Jap Supercharged twin drag racer. His son Martin continued the racing success, winning the European Grass Track Championship in 1984 and the British Masters’ Championship in 1984 and 1987.

Martin is currently Managing Director at Hagon Products, while it is his son Sam’s turn now to follow in his father’s footsteps with a very promising Speedway racing career ahead of him.

In the 1980’s Hagon products decided to concentrate on the production of suspension units both for traditional twin shock motorcycles, as well as their fully rebuildable mono shocks, and the success which came along with the reputation for reliability, quality, and popularity of Hagon shocks ensured the production quantities which founded the move from the original shop in Leytonstone high road to the factory at 7 Roebuck Road where Hagon Products operates from today.
