would you care to comment on your perception of the difference between the TTX and Moton shocks?

and are shocks a 'free' item in this series (seems a little uniúsual, if so)?

This is what I am looking for. I have sold my RS and I am looking for a Cup car. PM me with the contact information. Thank you in advance for your information.

Nordschleife,

Yes "free" as long as they're only double adjustables...

That's where the Ohlins are just trick - they have "cartridges" for the double
or triple or quad - You can set up the car perfect with the quads, get the right
shim pack, valving, etc. and then swap the cartridge with the double adjustable
version (yes, they're swapable between the three versions) and you have the
perfect setup with high speed locked in.

The Ohlins are just beautiful - works of art.

That said, the Motons are nothing to sneeze at ;-) They work extremely well, but when setting
up, the Ohlins are just sooo versatile.

YMMV,

Deetz

You waited over a year, posted one or two picture and it's already sold. So all those threads you started about retaining value but then again you didn't care cause you were gonna keep it for ever blah blah blah, was just BS!!

Besides getting milk at the corner store with it, did you even try it on the track?? And now you're looking for a CUP car........

Thanks for that explanation. You have explained exactly what I feared. Don't get me wrong, I love the Öhlins, but in a 'spec' series, introducing this (great) technology, just puts the price up, and to be honest, how many teams and drivers have the sikill sets, time, analytical ability and equipment to make the best of this, does it distract them?

At this level, it ought to be about the drivers not the cheque books. Whilst this sort of thing is allowed, don't expect IMSA Cup drivers to progress easily in the Supercup. I would be curious to know what the mindset was and by what process this was allowed and promoted.
