what spec of Ohlins on 07 Gassers

[tm_enduro]

Like the title says, what spec are the (optional) Ohlins forks and shock on the 2007 GasGas models?
forks 48mxf or exf or works?
shock the new TTX, other?
BTW, yes I know the Zokes and Sachs work well (I have them on myHusky).

the front is a 48 exf with .41 springs and the rear is a old model s46 pr1c2 with a .50 spring on smaller model and .52 on ec300

Thanks for the info. That should be a pretty plush ride. Is there some place that lists the prices of the 2007 gassers, and how much more it is to order with Ohlins. My interest is in a ec250 Ohlins.

One of the sponsors here - The Bike Shed has MSRP pricing on their website.

http://www.thebikeshedmn.com/1406877.html

EC250 base MSRP is $6795.
Ohlins Rear Shock Upgrade is additional $400.
Ohlins fork upgrade is ???.

As far as I know, freight from Iron Mountain Motorsports warehouse to dealer is additional $200. And if you decide to go with the sachs/marzocchi combo, they have them stocked in warehouse in tennessee (?) (although I heard they are moving gasgas stock to north carolina?).

By the way, everything I have heard about both parts availability and on speed/accuracy of parts delivery from dealers rates Iron Mountain Motorsports very highly (e.g. "best ever...").

Does anyone know how much to upgrade to ohlins fork for '07?

My '07 EC250 is still a setup in progress, slowed a bit by a rad guard fitting issue that is now solved. I did however spend last Sunday up in Hancock, NY on a Husky TE450 with Marzocchi / Sachs. There is NO reason to spend $400 more on that newer (cheaper?)Ohlins shock, beleive me. The Husky is an animal, WAY too much bike for tighter trails. On open quad type trails and steep hills littered with shale the bike would go as fast as you had the stones to hold it open, without any bad suspension habits. Now I know this is relative to a Husky but the point is there is absolutely no shock related performance issues. I can't wait to ride the Gasser in the rocks this weekend. I'll give a full report.

So correct me if I am wrong here, but the exf is basically just a zoke shiver with the ohlins name? No LSCD, no hydraulic bottoming resistance, no TC? I don't see why you would want the ohlins unless you could get the mxf. thanks for the info.
