Ohlins on my 2019

[ferraiolo1]

These are a 100% bolt on for the 2019, even though the website says that they aren’t.

Rear shock eye to eye is close to the same length as the oem, the front forks are slightly shorter. But with the decreased travel, once under load they sit around the same.

I feel the height change is negligible, as I’m still on my tip toes.

I set them to the recommended settings for me weight and riding style. Hopefully I’ll get to try them out this weekend if the snow stops.

Nice. I ordered the Ohlin's rear. How did you lift the bike to replace the rear shock? I have a small scissor jack but I'm not sure where I can place it under the bike safely,and without damaging anything.

I put a strap through my rafter in the garage and attacked it to the gear grab handles

Excellent idea. Thanks. I might try using a ladder. I think I only need about 1/8 inch off the ground.

I suppose I should give an update after a summer on these. I LOVE them. The valving is just perfect. My buddy who has a rr took swapped bikes with me and he couldn’t believe how well they work.

Yeah pretty happy with the 22 set-up myself. Very stable and predictable platform.

Glad you took my nudge?

Black anodizing looks sharp.....even though Max prefers the gold.

I've been fortunate and have own several bikes with Öhlins suspension and I've always loved the gold colour in every bike.
