Ohlins forks vs wp cone valve forks

Cones. Just from a serviceability stand point you have more readily available parts when it comes time to rebuild and more people are familiar with getting them dialed in faster. Easier to resell and get your money back too.

They both have good characteristics. My friend had Ohlins and was more limited with options of tuners. We live in So Cal, so there’s lots of great places to have work done.

I think you will be stoked on either set over the AER.

I would go WP or KYB inserts

Either set is only as good as the Vendor setting them up.
That said, the best forks I've ever ridden with were Powerband Cones.

Öhlins has a softer characteristic to them than most other suspensions. Not bad but some prefer something stiffer, especially on rough sand tracks.

Had both of them, both where nice but like the conevalves better. Ohlins had 2 revalves, cone valve good the first try.
Both are plush but the CV has more bottom resistance in my opinion.

I had cone valves set up by Powerband, then Factory Connection and finally Enzo which worked better than the others. I bought them used. I had a set of Ohlins Hybrid forks by Coppersmith’s which were very good. The last bike I bought already had a set of KYB insert forks from Technical Touch/Enzo. I had Craig at Enzo do them for me and they are my new yardstick in forks. Ranked I would say KYB, Ohlins Hybrid and then Cones.

I would definitely go on KYB's site and just buy theirs. Nothing matches KYB performance. But that's my experience and opinion.

Love my ohlins

Cone Valves will ride higher in the stroke, which is something I prefer, but to each their own. I’ve owned several sets of each, but have been on CV forks since 2014. The CV will always hold their * value better than Ohlins…
But to be honest, it’s more about who is setting them up, than it is about the actual fork. Billy from PowerBand had absolutely nailed the set up for me on every set, whether it’s Mx or off-road, he’s got great knowledge of you end up buying CV forks.

Another thing to consider, is the shock. I’ve found that the stock shock with a revalve was not as good as a Trax shock on my Mx bike. Not as important with my OffRoad bikes, but I put a matching shock on all my bikes.

Even here in Sweden, conevalve are a more popular option than Öhlins.

And as Motofinne says, they are super soft in stock form.

I just picked up some ohlins here on vital. Haven’t ridden with them yet, but yes, finding parts and information is quite difficult. Had to research just to find fork seals that work, luckily kyb one fit so I could get quicker. Disassembly seems like a bit more intricate too, will find that out tomorrow. Ohlins fit stock clamps though, where as cone valves I believe need aftermarket??

I put a set of Ohlins inserts on my 2021 Husky FC450. I just like the feel of spring forks so much better. They are very sensitive to adjustments but I am very happy with my purchase.

Cone valves will fit stock clamps on KTM/Husky. The KYB forks will not, you will need clamps for those.
