Fork upgrade, anyone heard good or bad...??

[Killerwhale]

Will get quite some dosh soon and thinking of yet another fork upgrade (need to refurbish the R1 fork anyway) and saw the below cartridge from Matris.
You know of anyone riding with it and has said good/bad about it??
I really like the fact that one can just dial in preload/rebound by hand!

It´s opposite, these are 700 and Ohlins are 1200

but the preload / rebound option is sweet !!

still expensive.. Colours are actually quite nice.. But thats all personal. Any stats on them ? like whats the number of clicks each way, rebound / preload pressure - min / max ?

No, haven´t seen anything about that. But i would think they would match the R1 fork....not that it´s necessary. Good thing you get their own compression needle thingie as well so all parts are replaced!


...and....i really don´t think 700£ is that much for it actually. You get more than with Ohlins for less....and i´m SWEDISH!!

Buy them - they look cool

Just don't leave the bike anywhere near me when I've had a drink. The temptation to quickly and easily mess up your suspension setting would be too much of a temptation

Kinda like locking your helmet on the bike friday night and having a pint ´o piss in it

Is this upgrade for r1 forks or trx ones? And is that price you said in your silly krowns or euros or some other currency? I might consider those for my trx also if they fit.

They are for my R1 fork and it´s £....but still way cheaper than Ohlins with what i can see a better rep.
