    My Ohlins sure work great on my old out dated Italian Husky 300 Also work great on my WR 250 and my Cr 165 Next they will work great on my new TE 300

    Bit Johnny come lately on this post but l believe the bicycle suspension side of Marzocchi moved to Asia many years ago so l would suspect that someone in China or even India may buy the motorcycle IP from marzocchi and relaunch the brand in a different continent...hey if you are someone like Hero MotoCorp you are instantly in the game suspension wise at least.
    Lets not forget that some time ago Ohlins was majority owned by Yammie and then re brought back by the Ohlins family.

    TBH, I had no issues with the marzocchi forks but l would gladly swap them for KYB SSS forks and as far as road bikes, pfft dump the OE internals and insert Ohlins kit.

    What l'd love to see is someone outside of KTM Group use the Showa SFF or KYB PSF for enduro bikes...heck why not Yamaha buy out GasGas and take that tech into their enduro range.

    Ok...going to bed :thumbsup:

    Air type forks or more conventional forks? All Kayaba or a combo of Sachs/Kayaba or Showa/Kayaba or something else?

    spring I'm sure. Probably the same open chambers that came on the 08 huskys. Good stuff.
