From my last post the point I was trying to make is that just because the photo shows an Ohlins shock doesn't mean the Nambotin Replica bike has an Ohlins shock. I haven't seen the "build list" of what shock is actually on the bike so I don't know which one it would be.

In the past the factory bikes have always had Ohlins suspension front and rear as Ohlins sponsors those riders. That being said I also know the factory riders have been impressed by the Sach Boge fork and it would not be out of the question that the Nambotin Replica might have an Ohlins shock and Sach Boge fork.

As far as what suspension future GasGas bikes might have I wouldn't be suprised to see Ohlins available on some models as now that Yamaha no longer owns any part of Ohlins they may be able to provide competitvely priced shocks in a timely matter again.
