on my european 2007 ec300 there was a 52 rear spring (öhlins) and 410 front spring (marchocci) as factory equipment.
changed the front to a öhlins unit asap it arrived so no riding was done with the marchocci.

How did you get the Ohlins so quickly? Is it worth the extra $
What is the spring rate on the Ohlins? |

Hi!
I am using 0.41 kg/mm springs in my Ohlins for the 07 EC250 (there is picture in the gallery) and I weigh 83 kg with full equipment. After break in I had to check carefully the sag of the Sachs shock and any front end wash out I was experiencing disappeared. Now the bike is Magic! The Marzocchi felt much softer in the showroom but the difference might all be in the valving. I strongly believe that "you get what you pay for", especially in the case of Ohlins forks. Leon |

The Zoke fork is excellent on the Huskys, maybe GG just has some goofy valving. You can't really compare forks unless there setup by the same tuner. I had a Cannondale w/Ohlins and stock it was the worst thing I ever rode.

That is exactly what I need.
BTW, your avtar looks a little light on rebound damping, as I prefer as well. |

Every test I have read on the 300 says that the forks are too soft. I weigh about 100Kg (220 lbs), am I going to need stiffer springs? I haven't ridden the bike yet.

i'm 110Kg & have 0.48's but think they are too much, prob 0.46 would be about right for me for UK terrain. i have a 5.6 rear which feels ok. |
