I had the same questions when purchasing my 300, so I went and asked some experts who know and work on both suspensions. Les being one of them. The universal answer to my question of "if you were buying and had the choice which one?" was Sachs and for similar reasons. Not saying anything bad about the Zokes/Ohlins, as they both said either could be made to work good. Les is a great guy to talk to so I'd say give him a call and get the info first hand.

I've only got one definitive ride on terrain so far that would test my Sachs units and I was more than pleasantly surprised on how it worked. It was as good everywhere as the full-on Factory Connection setup that I had on my KTM and even better in some places. It hasn't seen a true rock garden yet where it may be a bit harder to equal my previous setup, but I'm really happy so far. I also like the idea of the more substantial 48mm fork and bigger shock shaft/steel body, whether it's justified or not.
