lewis_gasgas Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I think they are better than the standard setup but if you have a brand new bike i dont think there would be much point in buying one staright away . Are you trying to post as much stuff as you can?? Its not a race you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because i'am thinking about getting one and it's a lot of money if there not that good. Not a Trials bike I know............ But I took delivery of one of these, last Saturday.............brand spanking new and had Ohlins shocks fitted front and rear (it doesn't have telescopic forks) when the bike was PDi'd at the BMW dealer. Ohlins shocks are the business and transform the handling of any bike, if set up correctly and are simply awesome. Stock shocks are ok, but are built to a price and lack sophistication The price of the shocks for this bike was Edited April 28, 2005 by Johnnyboxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raga replica's have them fitted so see if you can blag a ride on one ata trial then see if you can tell the difference Lovely bike JB Edited April 29, 2005 by windlestone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motomax Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I have had both a 280 Pro with a Sachs and a 300 Pro Raga with an Ohlins shock. The Ohlins is clearly better when set up properly. The Ohlins has high and low speed damping as compared to the sachs which only has single speed damping. It really shines when doing big splatters, jumps etc.... The Sachs is still a very good shock. I would save my money for some other trick bits unless your Sachs takes a crap. It's a good deal if you buy a Raga bike but otherwise, its probably a waste of money unless your looking to give your bike max coolness factor. BTW, I'm selling my 280. I usually don't have two bikes but the Raga bike was too good a deal to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
