Great review buddy

[@brentcook24]

Thanks man I appreciate it!!

[@yrre66]

What do you mean by brand new? Ohlins been around for decades...just not in the North America

[@brentcook24]

Ya I caught that after I posted it I meant in North America my bad

You can melt the seals or overheat the oil in the fox air. It takes and lot, but can happen. Your comparison is exactly how I would compare the two. My Ohlins are great for big hits. They do seam to lack travel and the ability to absorb chatter like fox air. They also feel harsher in technical riding. The Ohlins quality and durability is as good as it gets. I think they will be great for spring sends. I would probably go fox air for most mountain riders though. You have to be aggressive to appreciate the Ohlins imo.

I agree it's almost like a Moto setup vs an enduro setup in the dirt bike world. I agree with you 100%! Thanks for the comment!!

The walkers on my xcr sure seem to be pretty plush, I don’t know the difference between mountain and trail sled suspension, probably night and day I’m sure but I have no complaints

[@brentcook24]

Ya I honestly am not sure about any of the trail products! If you like it then stick with it!! I am curious to see how people like those fox dynamix. Curious to see if they will put those in the mountain products!!

For now I'm happy with the double-adjustable Walkers on my Khaos, but I'm way too "simple" of a rider to really put the fancy shocks to good use. I did spring for the ATAC model on the Catalyst that I snow-checked though.

[@brentcook24]

They aren't a bad option at all just depends on riding style and weight in my opinion! You will have to let me know what you think of the ATAC and the Catalyst!! That is super exciting!!

Finally, The trailer is Dirty. Havent heard your opinion on which shock you think is better. But Im going to stay with Fox. Mainly because buy American

[@brentcook24]

Hahah the trailer has been dirty for a while! Both are good.

[@IdahoMthman]

She looks great dirty :)

Nice camera, nice microphone, nice backdrop, and nice clothes... does this mean you have the qualifications to give snowmobile suspension advice... by the things you say, my opinion is no... youtube sucks because anybody think they are qualified to give advice... go to a suspension shop and talk to someone who actually has EXPERIENCE in snowmobile suspension... I personally endorse Ian @Monster Performance...After this video, I have more questions than answers now...

ÖHLINS

[@brentcook24]

They are definitely a great setup!!
