 nyone looking to transform a Yamaha Rhino into a bona fide race winner, or just make that Rhino the perfect do-it-all transport vehicle with a ride that’s ultra-adjustable to any condition or situation has the answer with the Ohlins 36PRC. The 36PRC is a piggyback-style shock with Ohlins quality and features through and through. The 36PRCs are easily set up and dialed in to deliver the kind of suspension control racers demand and everyday riders can equally enjoy.The 36PRC was designed, developed and tuned with lots of input from pro ATV racers like Bill Ballance, Pat Brown, Jason Dunkelberger and plenty of other hard chargers. They all told Ohlins what they needed and Ohlins delivered. Out on the toughest GNCC trails the 36PRC has proven itself a winner over and again. And what works–and wins–in the GNCC is just as good and then some in the everyday work-a-day world. Ohlins took the time to get these shocks right, and make them right for everyone. With pro riders doing the testing and Ohlins techs making the recommended changes and adjustments it’s no wonder the 36PRCs turned out as good as they did. The 36PRC shock sets are sold and mounted in pairs. There’s one set of fronts and one set of rears. Top-of-the-line all the way, the shocks are totally adjustable. The 36PRC (the name designates a 36mm main piston, adjustable spring Preload, adjustable Rebound damping and adjustable Compression damping–36PRC) the shocks are quickly and easily set to any condition, situation, terrain or rider style, externally tuned to exactly what’s demanded. Riders can set the spring preload and just as simply adjust the compression and rebound damping rates. The compression damping adjustment knob, located at the top of the shock, has 25 separate settings. Rebound damping, adjusted at the bottom of the piston rod, can be set to any one of 40 steps. Suspension tuning doesn’t come more custom than this. And the 36PRC is a piggyback-style shock, with all the performance benefits inherent in that design. Those external reservoirs promote shock cooling which translates directly to a much longer service life for both the fluid itself and every internal component inside the shock. An external reservoir results in much more consistent damping, as well as an optimum pressure balance throughout the shock. And the 36PRC is nitrogen pressurized to prevent cavitation of the fluid and promote even and predictable shock absorbing action. All of this–in those front and rear sets–is available for the Rhino. And as if all this isn’t enough the 36PRC shocks are totally rebuildable. They can even be re-valved for individual purposes, applications and to work with various length A-arms. These are shocks you can depend on, no matter how hard you ride, and with Ohlins durability they’ll most likely exceed the expectations of even the toughest users. Ohlins calls it “the next generation of ATV shock absorbers.” A good description. It’s all available through Parts Unlimited, so call your rep!  
 odern sportbikes come with steering geometries guaranteed to deal up light and quick handling. Too light and quick for some tastes. For many riders a modern sportbike can feel downright twitchy. That’s where a steering damper comes in. Little wonder, this is one of the first and favorite accessories many riders install.Ohlins has them all. Ohlins steering dampers–the exact same dampers as used in MotoGP and AMA Superbike competition–are available with all the necessary mounting brackets for a quick and direct installation on most popular sportbikes. There are universal kits, too, in five different lengths to neatly fit most any application. These are true, pressurized dampers; fluid is kept under constant pressure for consistent damping and to avoid free play. The Ohlins dampers are adjustable, as well, with 16 settings offered so riders can dial in the exact level of damping they desire and feel comfortable with. Ohlins dampers neatly mount specific to the application; one bike can have a side mount, another a top mount across the triple clamp. GSX-R1000 riders get a choice. As the rear tires on sportbikes get wider and stickier the real need for a steering damper increases. Slowing down steering input with a steering damper can pay big benefits on bikes that routinely lift their front wheel under hard acceleration, too. They’ll go a long way towards preventing those wiggles, wobbles, or out-and-out tank slappers when that wheel touches down again. There’s a reason why MotoGP racers and AMA Superbikes all use steering dampers, and why those dampers are from Ohlins. It’s all available through Parts Unlimited, in both direct-fit kits and universal-mount systems. |
