Anybody know anything about the KYB suspension components coming out of China? Are they the same specs and quality as the regular KYB components on the Japanese dirt bikes?
Sur Ron in China is claiming their soon to be released e-dirt bike, the Storm, is going to have KYB China suspension and I'm very curious if the suspension is comparable to what we are all used to from KYB.
Thanks. -Eddie

I'm with you on this but I am curious to see what the Storm suspension is like when it comes out. There's plenty of high quality components coming out of China nowadays along with a bunch of garbage. Just depends on how its spec'd.
So there is a chance...

Nobody says the Japanese cant build good stuff. Usually "made in Japan" is a symbol of quality.

The reason so much is made in China is because of price, not quality first.
If you are willing to pay a premium price, you can get whatever you want made to whatever spec you want. But again, not too many source to China for reasons other than price
They might not anymore, but apparently they did at one time......
Let's say that you could have quality control for made in china, but as long as quality control is a serious thing.
If the quality control misses, then you are buying shit...

Long story short. It doesn't matter where you make stuff, bad quality control is everywhere and the reason for it is money.
So, it sounds like exactly no one here has heard of, seen, touched, or ridden on the alleged KYB China suspension.
Very interesting.
The Sur Ron Storm Bee (STORM BEE!!! Lol) should be in customers hands this summer. I'll try to remember to update this thread after the details on the bike are being shared by actual customers. -Eddie
