Suspension Wilbers or TFX/OTR
Hi, I am looking to upgradde my XT660Z ABS suspension and have found only two brands that make a shock for it, Wilbers and TFX/OTR. Price difference is only about 50 Euros
Which one should be better: https://www.off-the-road.de/en/XT-66...BS-Tenere.html https://www.wilbers-shop.de/en/Motor...14f0350f03c358 Also, being an ABS model with less suspension travel, are the shocks with the separate reservoir worth the extra 200 Euros compared to the simpler ones? Thanks, Fernando |

Hi, im running the full fat ohlins withcthe piggyback shock from off the road. Whilst it is very expensive i do think its worth it.
On the road i cannot tell much of a difference apart from it being sprung properly for my weight and the damper never gets overwhelmed. Its on the rough where it really shines. It supports the Tens weight perfectly and keeps that rear wheel glued too the ground. A very worth while investment.

I have had a Wilbers damper for about 5K miles with Ohlins springs in the front forks. The Wilbers spring was ordered to suit my weight and is nigh on perfect with just a tiny bit of added pre-load.
I am certain that Wilbers ( at that time) did NOT recommend their shock for off-road use. |

Any more reviews of the products? I am struggling to select an upgrade for my XT660ZA (ABS) model. 90% road use, 10% off road in gravel roads, no trails.... Looking forward for some guidelines!

I got HyperPro progressive springs front&back(with the OEM Sachs shock) and can highly recommend them! Better handling, more direct steering. Also got the frontfork revised and maintained(after 100.000km's). I know HyperPro also has several shocks for the Tenere, really good quality, they can make them fit personally for your bike.
