A-Kit perfomance without the A-Kit price...but don't take my word for it.

High performance suspension sure, but I wonder if it's a balanced set up on that bike without the trax shock

The pricing in that article is inaccurate as there was a price increase of both the forks and shock a few months ago.

I wonder if WP will release an AER48 kit for the Jap bikes? If they were under $3k I would bet they'd sell.

I was wondering if this concept would work on my RMZ. Replace the SFF forks with WP cone valves, but leave the showa shock on. Or would it be counterintuitive

Not at all. Just make sure you are running the correct spring rate on the shock and I would imagine it would be a huge step up. However, you could probably send your forks to PC, ENZO or FC and get them to feel as good for MUCH less $$$.

The Kawi with full WP suspension or the fact that MXA's instagram account liked Donn's photo? Woohoo

I am pricing up new suspension for my bike, the WP stuff is pricey

ML512 - what are the forks really like on the 2017 CRF?

Thomas Covington factory Kawi with WP.


And Searle's bike, also Factory

Maybe the Jap Alluminium frames work well with the WP suspension?


Maybe KTM works well with KYB lol
