Default coil shock comparison

Considering ether legend revo-a adjustables. Or progressive 494s for my 16 Street Bob. Heard some not so great stories about legend. But I see alot of people using them.
Definitely want some opinions.
Thanks

I just removed my Legends REVO ARC's, not because I didn't like them but because they are 14's and I wanted to go down to 13's. I really liked them, they were plush but still ran like they were on rails. I switched to Bitubo WME 13's and can't report on them since I'm still trying to get them dialed in, which has been a far bigger issue than dialing in the Legends were.

Btw, the Legends will be for sale for a smoking deal soon.

Bitubo is my go to. Had a set of rebound adjustable 13” and went to the comp & rebound WMT 13.75”. The 13” were fine ride wise but I was scraping my pipe.

Ran 200 miles on Saturday and I’m super pleased with the ride. Swapped bikes with my mate who has Ohlins and he likes the Bitubos better too.

if you search around eBay new Bitubos are cheaper than legends and Ohlins and give up nothing. Actually, I think they’re better.

My opinion: Legends are ****. Bitubos are as good as Ohlins at a significant discount.

I also had Bitubos on my Superglide and was happy with them.
