As stated, the KYB A-kit is essentially coated stock stuff with a couple different internals. They are so close that lots of teams and riders will have the A-kit on their race bikes for the trick look, and revalved stock stuff on their practice bikes. It would be unheard of for someone to have A-kit Showa on their race bike and stock Showa on their practice, they’re too different. Same with stock WP AER vs. Cone Valve.
Hope that helps. I can’t stress how much value there is in having a shop like Enzo do the work, they do so much testing and understand how to make the bike work with you.
I'm sure ENZO has it dialed no doubt, but if something needs changed etc. it's back in a box and back to Cali = 2 weeks of your bike being taken apart. If you go with someone local you can just go ride the same track as them that weekend and get taken care of.
Can't go wrong either way, ENZO is clearly legit, I just always lean toward local for convenience and support.
I think there are a few variables. If you’re a vet guy looking to get the right spring rate, better hold up and bottom resistance with a good balance, a decent local guy might do the trick just fine. There’s a huge value to the convenience of having them there to help tune with clickers.
IMO where it changes is if you’re a faster guy who truly needs the bike to perform its best. There’s something to be said about working with that many Pro’s over the years (like an Enzo or PC does) that they truly understand how a bike needs to be set up to go fast.
I used smaller suspension companies growing up racing because they would do my stuff for the cost of parts. They wanted to use me for testing to try to figure out what a faster guy needed out of a bike. Enzo and others have done that with hundreds, if not thousands of fast riders over the years.
When I got older and was able to work with Enzo, it blew me away how much faster I could go consistently. My first set up from them felt safer than any other suspension I had ridden with no clicker adjustments.
After my own riding, I’ve been in and out of the moto industry on the tech side. I’ve worked with Enzo on 3 separate occasions, 2 years on Yamahas and 1 year on Huskys (2018). Also with Josh Hill on Yamahas and Altas. Every rider regards Enzo as the best you can get outside of a factory team.
Hope that makes sense, kinda rambled on there.
