light off road use...

Ohlins / Wilbers / WP are the way to go... There are a few others
but I have not riden on them...

Hagon shocks... I have seen inside them.. The word crude springs
to mined...
When it was fully compressed the damping valve left the oil & went into
gas section of the body... no floating oil/gas separator..
The piston wasn't sealed to the body buy a o-ring or lip seal so oil
could flow around the piston instead of though the control valve
( I use the team control valve very losely here)
