Hello all.
I know this has been covered in many posts in the past but time moves on and opinions change, so....
I want to upgrade my rear shock, options are:
1. M Shock, base model with combined rebound & compression: £350 (can add features but I'm not sure I'd bother)
2. Nitron R1, same spec but includes ride height: £462
3. Ohlins BM652, same spec as the Nitron: £550 price varies a little
4. Wilbers 640 Road, same spec as the M Shock: £454
5. ??? anything I've missed in the price range?
Obviously I want to stay in the lower end of the market and to be honest I won't 'fiddle' with it once setup. Being 115kg fully kitted up the standard unit is a bit of a handful.
So the question - what are your thoughts and recommendations on the options above?
I've spoken to a few suspension retailers / workshops and their opinions do vary, hence getting the views from the forum.
Many thanks
