Is that brown paint on the Reservoir? It looks like you have a Ti spring on there? It also looks like that spring is bowing out & rubbing on the body. I can see the threads are getting worn away!

If I understand right it's a 2 chamber closed cartridge with 12mm damping rod and a nitrogen bladder? They don't have much tech specs on the website...

What does a b and c mean? Like classes? Can it handle high speed offroad rock hits? Like to set them up for desert. I want a safe fork with a lot of damping and heard that if any changes are to be made to ohlins forks they have a chart or something. I was wondering if this "chart" is available to the customer?

Hi, it's hard for me to call during business hours do you have an email? Can you tell me if I need special ohlins tools to service the fork?

How much did you guys spend on the full Rfx fork? I have heard the inserts don't perform as well in WP tubes? I have 4cs tubes.

I am in the research phase right now and am considering all options in the 15-2500 dollar range (I think full rfxs fork is more expensive than I thought initially). Do you guys think it would be best to look for a set of used previous gen cones?

What about Dal soggio inserts? Seems to be all the rage but I heard something about that fork having bladder problems blocking a check valve or something and revisions have subsequently been made but it makes me think that fork may not be as good or refined as some may think? The design seems to be a WP cc copy? Does it behave like a cc bladder fork? Thanks for replies

The inserts work just fine! They are the guts of the complete Öhlins forks.
If you find a used set of Öhlins forks for your bike they can be fully serviced. This is a good way to go if you can find them. The problem is that used Öhlins forks are hard to come by. The people that are running Öhlins forks don't necessarily want to sell them because they work very well. If they do decide to sell them they get snapped up pretty quickly.
Dal soggio inserts? Never heard of them. I don't have any experience with this product so I cant really make a comment on them. I do know about Öhlins products have been around since the '70's & started off in motocross. After visiting the factory in Sweden I realize these are the top level products on the market. No expense is spared to make the best product possible!

Hi thanks for the prices, im curious what you learned in the factory? What do you mean no expense is spared? Can you tell me what parts of the fork are considered superior? How is this product tested/developed? Why this fork is better than the competition or revalve? How is this fork pressurized and serviced? Do I need any ohlins specific tools?

For me I am considering either dal soggio inserts or the ttx. The dal soggio inserts retail for $1500. They explain a bit more about the fork on their website, 4 port piston, bladder, automatic cartridge bleed valve etc...

Yea I don't just buy things without knowing what I'm getting. Did all you guys buy these forks without having any knowledge about what's going on inside, or what makes it better?

I just want to make sure that the damping rod is only 8mm? Does anyone know? I have been told that 8mm simply can not provide enough base valve flow without either diving or being harsh.
