Hi!

Here is a link to the 2013 Racing models, at least for Europe.

Could someone elaborate a bit on this ?hlins fork? Is it the TTX or some other open chamber material? From the top caps it seems that it could be the TTX technology(?). Also, the bottom lugs are the same as ?hlins fork top EWC racers use this year. I am about to order a 250 2T Racing 2013 after 2 years on 125s.

Regards,

Leon

If those show up in the US, I know a 2012 that will be going up for sale. I love the CC 'Zokes but between the Zokes and the Ohlins, I'll choose Ohlins everytime.

Except the stickers it seems exactly the same as the Ohlins TTX fork on the 2012 replica bikes... I am in Love. My last EC250 was a racing 2007 with Ohlins forks which was finally stolen and never found. It's time to go back to a 250 Racing....

You look right, it's ?hlins TTX which together with the new STX46 rear shock fitted to the new 300 racing "Nordic Racing" 2013. This model is specially designed for the Nordic market and a setting suited to conditions in Sweden, Norway and Finland.

If you look on the stickers on the fork you can read "Nordic Racing" in red.

That's what it looks like to me

Zoom in, you can see the weld around the insert. Maybe plastic has been an issue in Nordic cold?

Yes, All 2013 racing models have a aluminium/composite subframe.
