top of the line stuff, much better than moton/jrz imo.

as i said in another thread, very excite!

 

LOVE the billet-machined, anodized and engraved adjustment knobs! That's just money, baby!

 

Really? What makes you say that?

 

Oh oh, let's not get in to a battle of which is better. These can't be compared to a conventional twin or mono tube anyway.

We all know what's good and what isn't.


Penske, Moton, JRZ, Sachs, Bilstein, Koni, KW and Ohlins are all on top of their game, let's not compare one to the other.

For you Billy

 

Let's just appreciate the fact that something as advanced as this is making it to our cars.

 

Please elaborate. I'd like to hear your thoughts on why Ohlins is much better than JRZ.

 

would be better if it's faster, but hey, it's Ohlins, they know their stuff imo.

Let's try those!!

 

Not all Ohlins are better. I've had MCJ/DFV, and those were not better. But TTX, yes.

Much better resolution even when compared to motorsport Moton line. Serviceability. No shim stacks, through rod technology, packaging. Were talking formula car shock technology for a "street" car.

At this level, Ohlins a light years ahead of Moton/JRZ.

 

TTX__ - the numbers following = piston size?

My buddy runs the TTX on his race bike. Apparently (and I don't know how true this is), a lot of their components are now made outside of Europe (China supposedly) in an effort to reduce costs. The tolerances are not as good as previously. He started getting this weird cavitation. Turns out it was because a seal was not machined to the right tolerances. Long story short, he ended up spending more money on a solution from a 3rd market company.



Despite this, I'm pretty excited this technology has trickled down to our cars.

 

Can you clarify what you mean by "much better resolution"?

The TTX36 manual has several references to them having shim stacks.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying Ohlins makes bad shocks by any means, and the Elise I ran for the past two years had them. I can see the advantages to increased serviceability and easier packaging because of the lack of external reservoirs. I'm just surprised by your statement that they're "light years ahead" of the gold standard, so I'm looking to understand.
