Nitron Shocks...Opinions Anyone?

[eonan]

Does anyone have any knowledge/experience/opinion of Nitron shocks? After selling all the bits and pieces I no longer need I have enough to invest in either these, or the Ohlins.

Right now the blue is doing it for me...oh how sad is that :gay:

Don't mess about, buy my original 1993 Boge shock.... it's nearly clean!!

Nitron have a good name but it ain't an Ohlins....

There's a few of the DD racers using Nitron, it's a good shock, but it's not really cheaper than the Ohlins and of the two I'd choose the Ohlins every time. Not for performance, I bet not many of us could distinguish between the two on the road or track, but it's bling factor innit :mand:

Just out of interest, why do you want to change your shock? Is the old one knackered, or is it just because you can? Only asking cos there's nothing wrong with the original shock, provided it's in good working condition, and I doubt you'd notice a lot of difference!

Yep...it's only because I can :mand: If I don't act fast I'll just end up p*ssing the money away and have nothing to show for it! Or more likely someone else will p*ss it away on my behalf!

Well I guess that just leaves the 900 engine...or a new set of forks. The forks seem pretty rare, and I haven't seen a 900 lump on eBay for a while now :rolleyes:

Forks?

nothing wrong with nitron forks, like all uk manufacturers the guy worked for spax and the original designes were probably based upon the car shock design, but i think its progressed a bit since then, but can you compete with ohlins for their size and inovation, only the americans can i would hasten to guess
