Well price wise thats debatable,I've found at the same spec their the same price give or take a few �'s/Euro,you have to shop around.

But the external res/rebound/compression ajuster etc,thats all stuff that you have to strap on the bike somwhere,with the Ohlins it's all integral,hence why the majority of folk go for a combined compression/rebound on a Wilbers as it gets too messy otherwise,as you have to strap not only the preload ajuster but the remote res as well.

And hence why I've never bothered with my Wilbers having the extra res fitted on my K1200,it looks a mess among other things.
