Shock recommendation for EsseEss9 Special
« on: September 09, 2019, 05:48:16 PM »

If anybody is unsatisfied with the stock Bitubo too and not willing to pay a Oehlins I recommend having a look at the Hyperpro 460 Series.
I just bought mine and the Esse becomes a much better bike.
In Germany the stock price for the 460 ist only 495€ incl. VAT.
I also swapped tires from Phantom to Pirelli Angel GT2 a while before witch gave a better performance also.

So if you're unsure - go for it :-)

Kind of makes you wonder why Ohlins suspension components are so expensive, doesn't it.   ::)

Nice upgrade Kradblatt, I will share your findings with other drivers. You can also do yourself if you join the owners ride the 22th in The Netherlands 😜

A Hyperpro schock is about the same price as a replacement Bitubo...
