name Ohlins has become synonymous with motorsports. It’s been that
way ever since Kenth Ohlin opened this Swedish company with a mission
to manufacture nothing less than world-class motorcycle suspensions.
Originally developed for motocross, Ohlins shocks quickly found their
way into all forms of racing; bikes, cars, ATVs, snowmobiles, the works.
Winning everywhere, too. Valentino Rossi rides on Ohlins. So do many
NASCAR and CART teams and lots of World Rally cars. Ohlins, to state
it mildly, is a major player when it comes to high-performance, top-quality
suspension products.And the operative words there are “suspension products.” Beginning with shocks, Ohlins now offers it all. Improving the total suspension system–front and rear–does as much for the overall performance of a bike or ATV as anything else you’ll do. Suspension upgrades are felt immediately. You’ll get better traction, better handling, you’ll be able to ride faster and safer and do it all with more comfort and confidence. Each Ohlins product, front suspension or rear, is custom designed for the application. Over a third of this company’s workforce is employed in the R&D departments. They’re constantly researching and developing front forks, front fork springs, steering dampers, special oils and greases and of course all those instantly recognizable Ohlins rear shocks. The R&D department is comprehensive, too, measuring, data collating and simulating what happens on the street, track or trail. High tech? Try this: Ohlins developed a computerized electronic suspension system for BMW motorcycles and a 2WD project has been bought by Yamaha, offered on the WR450F 2-Trac in Europe and Australia. It’s self-regulating so the front wheel never spins faster than the rear. But that’s for the future. Right now, Ohlins, the winner’s overwhelming choice, has just about everything suspension you’ll need for bikes, ATVs and snowmobiles, and there’s more to come, especially in that hot, fast growing performance ATV market. Last year Ohlins even worked with ATV pro racers Dustin Nelson and Jason Dunkelberger developing shocks and springs available separately. You can custom calibrate the suspension to the rider. Parts Unlimited offers it all.  |
