My stock rear shocks are ussless and i want to update to either Ricor or Progresive 970s.Witch one should i go with in your opinion?

 

I answered this question for me. For about two months I have been going back and forth between Ricor, Ohlins and Progressive 970s. I finally ordered Ricor. Seemed the best value for money and I like how they look. However, my decision was mostly based on guts feeling. According to the reviews they are all excellent shocks. I also got the Ricor Intiminators to upgrade the front suspension at the same time.

Haven't installed them yet. Weather is too good to allow any downtime.

 

Ive never tried the Ricor or Ohlins but I can assure you that the ride with the 970's is awesome

 

i like the look of the 970 over the ricor.

 

I just ordered the Ricor shocks about a week ago. I was choosing between the same two as you. Honestly can't say exactly why I chose Ricor. Just read a ton and that's what I ended up doing.

 

I have the Ricors for more then a year now and still love them, they are very good shocks.

 

Both are great...I went with 970s and am 100% happy.

 

JMO but for that kind of cash neither of those shocks will ever beat ohlins.

 

Which Ohlins are in the low $600 range? If they exist I certainly missed them because I was interested in Ohlins.

 

I have 970s, the compression adjustment on the fly is real great for going from solo to two up.
