Those are the brand of shocks that come stock on GAS GAS quads...I read that they are pretty decent. Better than any other stock suspension.

the ohlins first made news on the cdales, and they are better than many aftermarket suspensions.

14 mins, i think ohlin only has 2 lines of atv shocks, sounds like a good thing to check out. Never heard of that distributor though.

The add says ohlins rear ATV shock with remote rezzi 250, Fox rear shock 225 dollars. Ohlins front shock # 11142 140.00 dollars. The add does not say if that is for one or 2 front shocks. Also Arvin meritor front atv shocks 15.9 inches eye to eye 140 dollars

If the price is 390 for 3 shocks that would be good if they are decent. A lot cheaper than my 1500 dollar TCS's

The 11142 is the front shock that came on the 2001 to early 2003 Cannondale FX400,Cannibal, and Speed

The late 2003 Cannibal also had a Fox rear shock instead of the Ohlins.

All 2003 Cannibals had Arvin front shocks instead of Ohlins

Sounds like this guy took advantage of the Cannondale auctions this past Fall.....but that's just my guess.

Knowaslot- I was thinking that also. Will those front shocks fit any other quads.

Yes many 400EX owners have used them as a great cheap upgrade over stock. That 140 is per shock. The company is NREL - a liquidator of almost anything. Don't think the rear shock works on anything else. Fronts are compatible though. Fox is lower line, Ohlins is nice. I wish they had the Blaze shocks, those are the pricy ones - dual rate with rezzie. And of course the Moto are 19" of the same. Oh, and dirt bikers - they have those shiny gold forks too.

Ohlins are a european company, swedish i think, in the Uk there cosidered to make the best shocks bar none, they have a formidable reputation and many world chmpionships to there cretit, on and off road,

check out there site ohlins.com you can search for the correct shocks for your bike.

if you can get them that cheap there an absolute bargain,

your looking at the equivalent of 500-700 dollars a pop in the uk, custom made costing more, there all fully rebuldable and customisable,


im gutted that ill be missing out

So which ones will fit on my Raptor? I don't really care about the back, but some bad azz front shocks would be nice. I appreciate your help.
