Seriously, Ohlins road and track is not made or engineered by Ohlins at all. It was the product of partnership with a Japanese firm that was then marketed as an Ohlins product. The so called Dual Flow Valve is nothing by a fancy term for digressive valving, plenty of other kits have that as well. At the end of the day, you are really just paying for the name. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you care. Their blue logo and iconic gold colored shocks do look good, especially on bikes.

One have to wonder though, if "Ohlins" can't even get something as simple as the spring rate correct for our cars, how do you know if they got the right damping rate with their shocks...
Thank you!!

Why so much praise for a product that isn’t even good out of the box and costs more than comparable products. I always wondered what people quantify as ‘good’ and why.
