We teamed up with Ohlins USA to test out a drop in fork kit and full rear shock that you can purchase direct from Ohlins to give you some feedback on the characteristics of the suspension and some information on what's available from Ohlins - Ft. Peter Novacek and Rob Woodard!

Thanks for doing a feature on Ohlins for MX. Look forward to this brand growing in the US MX & SX. There’s a reason why 95% of the paddock in MotoGP, Moto 2, & Moto 3 run Ohlins. Not to mention 100% World Superbike, and MotoAmerica Superbike series. Ohlins was picked up by Ferrari in formula 1 last year as well. Super dope product in Performance and feel. More consistency , top notch valve damping creating better predictability and more traction🤙 A more confident rider is a faster and safer rider!

Instead of chasing revalves,I called Peter over a month ago, and made the decision to try fork incerts and rear shock on a 2022 CRF250R, and it's a night and day difference, more testing to do,,☝️👍👍

Ohlins should host another demo day where they let people try their suspension on their personal bikes at the track. They had one back in 2016 at Milestone and it allowed me to try RXF48 forks on my 15 Kx450 at the time. I had always wondered what the hype was about but that let me actually experience the forks on my bike and compare to my stock revalved forks. They worked really well.

Tbh, they been on satellite teams in europe, no really main factory program in modern era in motocross (gp's) But Öhlins is truly a solid brand willing to adapt and evolve, i’ve seen some stuff from the main Factory in swe, i hope they can take the next step in the U.S and actually in the gp’s aswell to close offer another high end platform outside KYB, WP , Showa. Solid video as usual Ping, them Öhlins should take high notes of your feeling of their components/opinion, you been around for a solid good time, and you been on the highest level + you rode them all suspension brands.

Glad to see a video on Ohlin’s suspension. 👍 I’ve always wondered how well this stuff worked throughout the years but it’s been kind of hard to find out about being such a low key company in the US. Sounds like it works well. The other thing I’ve wondered about is who can you take it to who has a lot of experience with the stuff when you want to get it dialed in and revalved? I’d definitely be open to trying a set of Ohlin’s suspension at some point. Ping please keep us updated on how well this stuff works as you get more time in.

I had a cpl sets of TTX stuff when it first came out in 09 I believe....Stacy Berger was the dude for Ohlins back then.....really cool guy easy to work with.....nothing but positive things to say about their stuff.....it worked really well....cartridge kit and shock.... Surprised it doesn't have a bigger presence actually, cost was just lil more than full revalve with all goodies from FC, PC, etc..

how did it feel compared to your KYB? For my fc 350 I have both kyb and ohlins tend to feel the kyb allows me to be a little more aggressive...curious to know your thoughts.

the cartridge set is as good as the forks from ohlins, the rear shock. the complete package is way above the standard showa etc ect. BUT you really need a person that can set it up. Out of the box it's already great but when set up it's top notch.

What do you think of the suspension compagnies recommending for exemple a sag at 100-106 when yamaha recommend 90-100? And why do you think that the numbers are so different?
