Ohlins Shock Question

[bix96]

For all you Nytro Gurus:

I have a set of Ohlins front shocks off of my RX1 that I am parting out. They were a huge upgrade to the front end of the RX1. The Center to center eye length is 17 1/2". The number on the spring is 180-84/23 L302. (not sure what that means)

Will these shocks work on my 2009 Nytro XTX? Or am I better off ebaying these and going with a shock package specifically designed for the Nytro?? I would freshen these up anyways, so they could be re-valved if that possible.

Would they be a good upgrade? Just seems to be a shame to not be able to use a quality piece that is already paid for (best part) and sitting in my garage.

Thanks for any advice/help in advance!

Sounds like they are the right length. I would call Bruce at pioneer performance, he could give more info on springs and valving. Fill in your location before the site police get you lol.

If they will fit, I would definitely use them. Those are great shocks, as you already know

These can be adapted fairly easily. Drop me a PM and I'll give you the specifics. The 180-84/23 is the part number for the spring. It's 46mm ID x 270mm length with a 2.3kg rate.
