don't know the spring rate, must check on box (if mentioned) however I think you can choose it according to your weight. Springs are linear (no progressive) and here is a quote from "andreani group official website" - "This item is set up and adjusted by Andreani technical staff according to your driving requirements. Once added the item to the cart, you will be able to set the adjustment parameters" therefore I think once you buy through a dealer, you can pass your requirements

adjustments are:

on both legs spring preload
on one leg - hydraulic compression
on other leg - hydraulic rebound

here the link to andreani Group

fyg the price shown are VAT exluded in Italy we have 22% tax

then ask to your nearest dealer / installator

My local dealer said that they are able to get a rear ohlins spring and shock as well. Anybody know anything about that?

 

[Hedonism]

Any update on this? I'd like to get these cartridges and the Ohlins DU505 for my Scrambler soon, but most the information I found while googling wasn't in English or in the US. I could call my dealer, but I guess I'd like to understand the options well before I discuss it with them.

I wold also like more info.

The crappy suspenders on this bike are killing me right now.

Hi Guys,
I'm Diego and i work here at the Andreani Group. The Rear shock will be available for the end of July!!!

The Cartridges for the front fork are absoloutely awesome and they really gives you a safe ride feeling and better handling.

Hi Diego,


Could you post up the cartridge installation instructions please.


I'm interested in them but would like to understand the installation before I buy.


Thanks,


Greg

Hi Greg,

Unfortunately i can't post the instructions because they are selt with the cartridge.
But i can give you and advice: these cartridges have specific tools for being installed, so you must need to go do a service centre because we can't sell these tools to private customers.

for any question, feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Best Regards

Booo!!!

Some of us out here are more than qualified to do this ourselves.

It seems that almost ANYTHING in regard to a Ducati requires dealer intervention - eg. resetting service timers, etc.

My classic is getting the first service done at the dealership this weekend. After that, I don't plan on them ever seeing it again (other than for Dyno work and reflashing).

I'm a degreed Mechanical Engineer and certified Motorcycle Technician - and I'm sure the offering from Ohlins will not carry this burden.

Just making my dissatisfaction known...

Hi Tonyjuliano,

Maybe there's a little mistake: for service center i meant a suspension service center!!

If you are a certified Motorcycle Technician and have a suspension garage with all the tools, you can contact me at [email protected], with your billing and delivery address and we'll send you the cartridge with his specific tool!

Thanks for the clarification - that's much different.

I think I'll wait. My feeling is better springs (for my weight) and light oil maybe all I need for the front and I'll buy a nitron for the back eventually.
