Difference between new and old shock?
The more experience I get riding other bike's I'm noticing the difference between more modern Forks and my 2003 WP43's. But, I'm wondering what's the difference between the Ohlin's shock on my'03 and newer shocks. My '03 doesn't have any High speed compression adjustment. Has the shock technology changed as much as Fork technology?
I'm debating installing KYB sss forks on the Gas Gas and getting them revalved for the woods. |

It's not a question of having the suspension set up. It's a question of if having a new shock would be superior to an older shock.

My 04 ohlins from gg 200 is identical to my 11 ohlins from my gg 300. A ohlins 888 shock is just that.

So what pre 2012 bikes come with the high & low speed shock adjustment? Is it just the replica bikes?

Just curious ....
what do you feel you'd gain by having a HS comp adjustment? |

I sure have the impression that my 06 ec200's Ohlins has both high and low speed adjusters.

I prefer the older Ohlins that is on my wifes 97'. It may have something to do with the geometry of the two frames, ie 97' vs. 12 and newer?

Quote:
The latest renditions of the Ohlins 888 (2012-13) had small internal hex adjusters for both rebound and low-speed compression only. The purple Reiger fitted to the 2014s and 2015s follows this trend of rebound and low-speed compression adjustments only.
