I got specs today then the export manager called me and said he would have more info later this week. When he sends me those I will post. I will give you a quick rundown on the suspension:
All of the standard, estart and Six Days models, no matter what engine size, have a Marzocchi 45 mm fork and Ohlins 888 shock. The Race models have a 48mm Marzocchi and Ohlins 888 shock. The Nambo has TTX both ends. These are for the US only. It appears that some of the models going to other countries will have some Sachs stuff. I may be posting these too quickly. Albert may send something totally different latet this week. What the heck......I'll stick my neck out! |

I hope the info on the 45mm zokes for the estart models is wrong. I suppose the 48 mm zokes would be ok. From the reports I have seen about the sachs forks I was hoping that is what would be on them. It is a shame they went away from the red anodized forks on the 2010, they look really good. I saw in cycle world that there were some new zokes coming out (53mm I think) I wonder how much they would cost.
What is the difference in specs and price for the race model? Will you be able to order the estart seperate and add it to the race model? I am assuming the ttx cartridges would not even fit the 45mm zokes. |

That's a good question, will the Nambo run the Sach's forks with TTX cartridge's or one of the Marzocchi forks with the TTX?

Not really what I would like to see if true. Std. bikes should at least have 48mm forks now and Race/Nambotin bikes should get 50mm something or other. Hell, all the 2011 Beta bikes are all getiing 50mm Marzocchi's. I would love to see those on the GG bikes with TTX options.

Is the model 888 Ohlins shock the cheaper alloy body unit that first appeared on some '07s, the steel body shock we are familiar with, or something new?
Zokes would be fine with me, easy valving and service with no learning curve. |

I am OK with the 45mm Zokes. I can tell you from experience that the 50s eat seals and have some serious stiction issues. The 45s can be made to work well without much fuss.
