For motorcycles within the sport sector, the shock absorbers must have very good track qualities, function well in ordinary traffic and have a high level of comfort. Shocks from Öhlins handle all these criteria better than any other shocks, and much better than standard shocks.
When we design shocks for sport bikes, we imagine what the motorcycle’s manufacturer intended when it comes to performance, options, comfort and so on. We evaluate each motorcycle model individually, down to the smallest detail. Then our professional riders, often competion riders, carry out tests, both on a track and on public roads. In addition, we test each bike with various tyres as we know that tyres also play a decisive role in achieving the desired quality.
From there we design shocks that meet, and even surpass, the qualities that the manufacturers have been striving for. In carrying out this task, we borrow a number of technical solutions and ideas from the hypersport sector, however, we modify them for more everyday riding for comfort.
