Rear suspension

[stanco]

Hi all,

I'm keen in upgrading my rear shock. Other than ohlin, are there any other shocks up for recommendation?

Something cheaper but value for money?

Hi, i just upgraded yesterday....found a used, but in mint condition, Wilbers 640. Changed the bike! So much more feel from the rear tire.I think they are 499€ when ordered new, they spec them to your weight and riding style too!

Penske has something

I recently contacted Penske and they offer something that works on our bike.

I believe they have a newer model which is actually cheaper than the Ohlins.

The info is on a thread that I created somewhere here, but drop them a line from their website and they'll give you suggestions. I'm really considering going with them, if I can get over my cheapness....

Re: Penske has something

Any reason you don't want Ohlins? I have an Ohlins rear and I love it. I bought it 2nd hand from another forum member. Soooo much better than stock.

I must be looking in the wrong areas, Ohlins stuff I am finding is like 800+

Thanks for all the replies. Will take a look at it.

I do, just that it's quite costly at where I'm. So would like to see any replacement that are any cheaper but still does the job equally well too.

Cheers!
