Best Cartridge Style Front Fork
« on: September 29, 2019, 10:34:53 AM »

Looking to replace the OEM front springs with cartridges.  Looking for something that does not jar your body over a manhole cover.  Important to me is dampening and rebound.  Price is important however I believe you get what you pay for most of the time, so I don't mind spending more "if its worth that much more".  Been researching, overwhelmed with the number of systems and lack of recent data.  SO - Ohlin, Race Tech, Legend Axio, Progressive, etc. 

Thoughts?

Lots of research the past few days, I agree, looks like Legends is the winner.  Anyone have an idea how many hours labor the dealer charges for the install?

I have had progressive mono tubes, and Legends Axeo.  Legends were about twice the price, but more than twice as good.  I will not by progressive again, but will most certainly buy Legends again.

I might be a bit old school in thinking...but having a cartridge on one side and just a spring on the opposite seems a bit odd compared to having damping on both sides. What "is" the line of thinking in these systems?

Got the twofer today.  Awesome dyno tune and ordered the Legends from Trask Performance.  What a great group of professionals!  Fixed my detonation, happy camper.
