Hi all, after 12 months of Chimaera ownwership I have decided to try a few trackdays and maybe some local hillclimbs. I was reading about suspension up grades and spotted these shocks advertised as Nitron racing reds, Seemed like a good deal, but now I have the shocks there is nothing on them to confirm they are as advertised. I just wondered if any of you kind chaps could shed any light as to what make they are?

Thanks,

grngriff

Hi mate, I have nitron racing reds and they do differ from the one shown in the photo quite a bit.

Thanks Pete. I bought them in a hurry as was about to go on holiday. Now that I have had a look at them they do look different to the racing reds. Maybe somebody can identify what they are, then I can make a decision on their worth and suitability.

They don't look like any racing red shock that I've seen.... (had a mate in the buisness who showed me a fairfew)

also be wary (spelling ??) as early racing reds had build quality issues, and as such are no longer in manufacture (I believe this to be the case).

also (stand to be corrected but whilst Nitron had an input in to the engineering of the damper, they are not responsible or part of the manufacture process.
