smarty does the same thing all the rest do, punch your info into the ohlins setup calculator and do what it says. ohlins has pretty much made their distributors look like rock stars, not that thats a bad thing.

Congrats! Loving mine, too, though I hide my reservoirs

You should look at their fork cartridges next, it will really pull it all together.

ya, absolutely, forgot that part. theyre the gold standard on the aftermarket suspension market for a reason. ohlins is great to deal with, theres no way to not like them.

I appreciated that an independent dealer took the time and interest in selling his product. Texts were exchanged and he insisted we communicate prior to any purchase. If Ohlins sets their distributors up to represent the company like that, well, Smarty certainly paid attention during that class.

My shakedown ride was pretty awesome as it was “the first ride” and the improvement was immediately most apparent (which will soon fade and become normal). I did a nice 2-hr ride last night and 100% noticed how superior they are to what was there- it’s now magnifying the front end now-noticeably needing an upgrade quality. Well played Ohlins 😂

very very happy with these.. and the look is just 😮‍💨

+1 on this ^^^^^. Stock shocks are not good but stock forks are just plain garbage. Most avoid forks because it is so much more work than shocks.
