【OHLINS】Rear Suspension Review
Fits: KAWASAKI Z1000 (water-cooled), KAWASAKI NINJA 1000
First OHLINS!
This is the first OHLINS Suspension in my Motorcycle history.
It can be fine-tuned and made to your liking.
And best of all, it looks great! You can indulge in self-satisfaction.

Great ride!
I installed it on a 2009 FIMODEL with AB27. The Hydraulic Damper is still good. As I expected, the fee ring is exquisite when stroking. I have only reduced the damper by about 5mm, but it is still enough. This makes me want to replace the Front as well! If you like hydraulic fee rings, I recommend it, although the price is high. (It also looks good). View detail

The best investment ever for my bike. It really transformed it. Perfect fit. It includes everything you need for a proper installation. Adjustment is required to your weight and riding style. View detail

I had a hard time deciding which one to choose because of the cost, but the Motorcycle shop recommended me to go with OHLINS. After installation, the ride was good and comfortable. View detail
Best of the Best Rear Shock Absorber for the Grom
About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the rear shock absorber from Ohins, only the best materials used and surface finishes obtained as you would expect for the price. Almost exclusively made from aluminium to keep the weight down and anodised for durability. About the feeling of use: The look of this rear shock absorber fitted to the Grom is sensational and the feel from the rear end while riding is like a completely different motorcycle now, with the ability to adjust pre-load, rebound and compression the adjustments are endless. Products to buy together: The Ohlins fork insert kit would also be desirable to purchase along side their rear shock absorber but sadly is not currently available here on Webike so would need to be purchased elsewhere. Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about an hour, only 2 bolts holding it in place, I removed the rear hugger, seat and rear plastics then supported the rear of the motorcyce with an A frame and strap. A little difficult to do. Cost performance and comparison with other products: An extremely expensive option for a rear shock absorber for the Grom but if you have the money to spare you will not be disappointed. Any aftermarket rear shock absorber will be better then the Honda one and the options available from YSS should be looked at if your budget is limited. About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght is my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost and it is fantastic that it has returned as an option once again so I can put my money toward parts and not high shipping costs. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: Specifically designed for the JC61 model Honda Grom so the fit and operations is perfect. View detail
