rear suspension opinion.
 

i want to change the rear suspension of my xtx 2006 because stock is at its end.the choices are:

yss 380 euro
wilbers 450 euro
yacugar 480 euro
bitubo 500 euro
hyperpro 510 euro
ohlins 520 euro
nitron 560 euro

i need your opinions before choose.

I can only speak for a Z, but I was so pleased with the Wilbers on my revious Z that the first thing I did on the new one was get another Wilbers shock.

A couple more to add to your list...

Yacugar ER-S 370EUR

Nitron NTR Sport 560EUR

I went for the Yacugar on my XTZ, which I am really pleased with, both in terms of price and performance.

thanks. i added them to the list.

By reputation Ohlins or Bitubo, but mine is standard so dunno.....Tell us what you choose!!!

My XTR will get a Ohlins.. One of the main
reasons is theres a Ohlins service agent here in NZ
that also sells... I try to give my $ to NZ out fits
when possable.. prise wise...
Ohlins are about as good as shocks come..depending on model..

the yacugar uk dealer inform me that the rear shock has 480 euro with shipping for greece. i am closer to wilbers.

i am between ohlins,wilbers,hyperpro and bitubo.all have the same functions.but which brand has the best quality?any idea?

ohlins has 30 clicks for damping
bitubo has 7 clicks for damping
wilbers has 22 clicks for damping
hyperpro don't know.

these are the diffirences between the 4 shocks. still undecided.i need your help.

are you sure about that intel?

my Wilbers 641 has stepless preload adjustment. See the pic below:

I have had my ohlins on my XTR for 16,000km now and it has handled everything great and is very comfy.
It has done dirt and our very crappy roads here in Aus with ease.
It is without doubt one of the best improvements to the bike.
By the way rear shocks for the X/R are different to ones that can be fitted to the Z.

i made a mistake. i want to write damping not preload.

finally i bought wilbers

Would shock off a R1 fit.?:064:

Search on google and you will see that bottom of the shock in not the same so that,s first problem, the other it,s to short travel.
