Ok guys I need your help. My next mod is the rear suspension and my choices have come down to Ohlins or Arnotts. I really need feedback from the forum. If you throw out the "on the fly" adjustment of the Arnotts, which shock rides better? TIA

 

If you want quality ride and handling, run, don't walk from air shocks. If you want to be able to impress people by moving your bike up and down, there's nothing better than air.

 

I love my Ohlins

 

So does the Ohlins give a cushy ride??

 

I've been shopping for rear suspension also, air shocks are not even in the equation, I'm deciding between Ohlin....and Ohlin, just haven't decided which ones yet, I through progressive out a few weeks ago.

 

Ohlins #3-#3 , by far the best ride I've ever had

 

Ohlins #3-4 if you're hardcore. My bike sits way up high, but I drag nothing in the corners.

 

Love my air ride. Much better than stock. Never had Ohlins so I cant compare.

 

Ohlins #2-#2A short shock, big stroke!

 

I can't say about the ohlins other than I hear a lot of great reviews and happy customers so they can't be bad. I have the arnott with a 12 stage dampening adjustment and the adjust on the fly dual button right by the grip. You can find in a second are two where the sweet spot is for the conditions you are riding under. I do really like my system for the ride and the added feature is dropping it when your walking your bike for a real easy way to maneuver when lowered and oh ya some find that cool too. I would make sure if you go air to get dampening control dials or you won't be happy and the handle bar buttons are the best no need to take your hand off the bars just hit with your thumb. I also have installed a liquid filled gage so I know about where I want to be when riding single or two up or two up loaded down.
