Default Square tooth cam gears and red sport shocks are coming back!

As the title states they are finally getting put back into production.

I found this out by reading a copy of Originale 4 before it officially gets released in 2019 during my time at the Rennsport Reunion.

Here is a pic of the cam gear I managed to sneak I ran out of time to get one of the sport shocks but they are in there!

I thought the rounded cam gears were an upgrade rated for higher torque, why stick with square when they're worn out and are being replaced?

Square tooth cam gears became available again about a month ago. List price is $283. The replacement round tooth is cheaper.
However the oil pump gear and crank gear are NOT currently available. So any wear on those components that requires replacement still moves you to the round tooth design.

Boge reds have been and still are available.

That's good. I know the person who bought the last set of shocks before they got put back into production.

By any chance Roger do you know if the gears are steel or alloy?

I have not ordered any as yet - my guess would be alloy. However I have been wrong before.
