Öhlins were good when owned by the founder. Then he sold to Yamaha and prices went x2...
Öhlins have not evolved in close to 2 decades...
Today there is a competitor which is better than Öhlins and have made changes compared to Öhlins that enhances performance.
If you look at Speedway - you'll see Engans Racing Ltd shocks.
Engans Racing is situated outside Sandviken in Sweden. About 200km north of Stockholm. I visited the plant last fall - planning to get a set of new shock from them instead of spending a small fortune on repairing/overhauling my Öhlins.
The Öhlin mono-shocks that brakes are supposed to be a warranty issue... what happened ? Öhlins Racing AB
Call the plant in Upplands-Väsby:
+46-8-590 025 00, or Fax: +46-8-590 025 80 or write Öhlins Racing AB, Instrumentvägen 8-10, Box 722, 194 27 Upplands-Väsby.
