When I had an evil wreckoning I ran a ohlins stx22 and was blown away by it, smooth dampening but kept the bike feeling lively. Ohlins makes great stuff and have been thinking of trying the ttx on my Levo
@@TheLoamWolf Guys, you can Turn the lower Body of every shock when the spring/pressure is removed. Then you would have Had easy Access to the airvalve
👍The front fork is easy to get adjusted correctly on whatever bike it is on, but the shock absorber is difficult to manufacture a shock absorber that will fit different linkage systems and their ratios, it is therefore important when ordering shock absorbers to name the bike brand so that ev can immediately get help with the right shock absorber, which then makes it possible to set it correctly yourself😊
Love my RXF 36 m.2 on my Revel Rascal. Just wondering: Why don't you just rotate the lower part of the TTX2 180 degrees, so that the valve faces front and towards the drivetrain for much easier access?
Would be useful to know your rider weight for the air pressures you are running as your ramp up pressures seem maybe 80 psi less than recommended? I am having trouble getting rid of the harshness on my Ohlins RFX 36 m2 on recommended psi and seem to need about 30psi less in main chamber and 80 less in ramp up???
As far as the shock schraeder valve position goes, would it be possible to rotate the base 180 degrees with respect to the top or do it when its serviced? You can certainly do this with coil shocks and RS deluxe etc. thats all i have experience with.
You can do this Wirth every shock wegen It IS depressurized. Strange the Theaters dont know that. What do they think how shocks come to live whih are used on Thais clevis mount Bikes With Only 90 degree rotation towards the shock body?
Rear shock air valve orientation. Next time you can twist the shock eyelet 180 degrees to move the air valve location to an easier spot. Next time you'll get it!
I get crazy of the ohlins shock, have already like a year , every time try to setup and still don’t feel any changes. That is really strange. This shock is like black magic!
The Sight has a fairly low overall progression. I would have expected you would opt for the TTX Air 1 with max spacers to help with ramp up towards the end of the stroke, especially without the Cascade link? Why did you opt for the Air 2 instead?
Hi! Thanks for review! Do you mind sharing the geared (+-) weight of the rider? *Not related to the video: Your website for some reason cannot be accessed from Ukraine (I have to open every page as cash from Google search results). Already mentioned above it to your colleague on Instagram last year, but nothing has changed so far.
I ended up liking the feel of the bike with the stock link. I also have a Range so getting more travel and changing the rate to be more plush really was not needed. When it was my only bike I liked the CC link for the extra travel and softer feel but with also having a range I did not see the need
I would be super curious to know what the air pressure difference was between this and your fox X2. Apparently the ohlins runs less pressure then other equivalent shocks making it smoother.
From what I can remember on the X2 was that I was using less pressure but I do not know exactly what that was. This comes down to the volume of the air chambers, there really is no right or wrong answer as they are totally different systems - Cole

Here because I keep blowing my Fox X2 on my Levo and I’m hoping the Ohlins will hold up better. Did you end up getting one?
@@BrettSampson I'm running the cane creek Kitsuma air and have been loving it. No issues with over 200 miles on it
Cool to see other suspension manufacturers also reviewed. More and more bikes are fitting Öhlins.
Really dig the TTX2 shock.. its crazy good! Great review!
Thanks! 👍

It will lose dampening force
@@szili76 no.
The shock doesn’t know which way it’s facing.
Thank you for saying this. I was about to comment the same

remove the spacer in the negative chamber if you haven't already. Fork should be much more comfortable + sensitive off the top after that

In the video you said you keep the ramp up chamber at 125psi, Max is 285psi. Is this a mistake are are you actually running it that low?
Curious as well. With where the support chamber is at, the recommendation on the sticker would have rampup in the 200s
I am confused by this as well
Cool video. Helpful thanks
6:03 you have trains in the woods there?
@theloamwolf you can change the schaerder valve position
Rear shock air valve orientation.
Next time you can twist the shock eyelet 180 degrees to move the air valve location to an easier spot.
Next time you'll get it!
Thanks for this review, did you do this test with the Cascade Components link installed?
I get crazy of the ohlins shock, have already like a year , every time try to setup and still don’t feel any changes. That is really strange. This shock is like black magic!
Maybe you can 180° turn/twist the Air Part when you let all air out like its possible on the X2?
I didn't even realize Ohlins made mountain bike stuff. I've known them mainly for motorcycle and automotive racing suspension.
Yeah pretty crazy and awesome to see them come over to the bicycle world.

Did you really ride the ramp up chamber at about half the recommended pressure!?
You mention that you also had DVO on the bike previously. Is there any possibility of a similar video from the DVO centric point of view?
I could do that for sure!

what is your riding weight and how many clicks from closed on rear shock
Can't you just turn the lower part? Doesn't turn? I have my TTX Air 2 valve forwards...
Yes it can be done, I did on mine as well as rotate the compression adjuster 180 degrees to both work better with my frame.
I have also a Norco Sight. Can you tell me what is your set up?
I need setup help badly🤣 my hardtail came with a 150 travel version and I can not dial it in yet
So you want it fully opened when hitting jumps? Sorry, for some reason I thought you’d want it a little firm to prevent bottoming out.
So yes, the fork and shock are home serviceable? Do they sell the service kits?
nice train horn in the backround
With all do respect - this shock looks like TTX1. Probably I am wrong. But what are the visual differences between TTX1 and TTX2?
Man what's the stoke volume spacers in the Shock.
Thanks
Just curious what is the on bike storage pouch is that above the rear shock?
You can rotate that shock body for easier reach to air schrader
How much do you weight dude ?
Wish it was easier to self service. We're you able to do a basic seal and oil service yourself or do you always have to have send into Ohlins?
Same as fox / rs service requirements...
That’s a nice bike, I mean it looks very fucking pretty. Norco 👏
Thank you! been an awesome bike so far
Not suspension related. What tool bag is on the bike? Thx
It is a High Above Gemini
What happened to the Cascade link?

Rotate air can end 180 degrees?
What weight are you?
Why not rotate the lower so the valve isn’t against the frame?
because he is dumb.
How much do you weigh?
wat is that tool carrier? :D
It is the Gemini from High Above!

The video shows TTX1 instead of TTX2 tho :|

You really should point out your video and website review are for the tttx1 not the 2. Bit misleading when you talk about ride feel etc.
MM front and rear. my kinda guy.
The best for corners! But the Big Betty out back is growing on me
