Ohlins will retain better value than the others when you decide to sell the bike on. Take it off, clean it up and get 75% of your outlay back....
Something to consider.......
The ohlins for these are a lower quality and cast etc. I hate the ohlins range thst are cast with flash marks, while most likely not as good as the maxton/Mupo/Wilbers etc.Something to consider.......

A shock for sunny sunday('fast') A+B road use is quite a tricky thing. Hagon, now matter how competent wouldn't be in the same league.
Utter b
ks.They're actually a bloody good manufacturer who put a lot of time, effort and, most of all, experience into what they do.
Fair enough, they aren't fitted to any of the current MotoGP or SBK bikes, but be honest with yourself; if you actually feel you need that standard of suspension why the funk are you still posting here instead of bikergod.com...?
My money would be on a standard Hagon shock being more than capable for at least 95% of the heroes who post on here (BN excepted of course...).
ks’?I thought that might be the case.
You post like you work there? It’s a heavy bike with a heavy rider with a demanding window of use.
If you think ‘utter bks’ is an sensible reply on a discussion forum…
How many miles of testing and development have hagon done on the bike the shock is intended for? 3 of the list have done plenty…..
Have you ever had a car/bike with a proper set of dampers fitted?
Can the hagon sales rep on here answer why it’s the only answer?

This looks like one of those classic threads where the OP asks for advice / ideas but has already made up his mind.
OP for what it's worth I have Ohlins on mine, fitted and set up by Mark Hammond https://www.mhracing.com/about. It transformed the bike - bumps would previously kick me out of the saddle but its now compliant, inspires far more confidence and frankly is far more comfortable to ride.
No this is one of those classic threads where the OP has asked, he's just ruled out hagon as an option, a classic thread where the OP has asked one or two of the posters for details to substantiate their comments, which hasn't happened.OP for what it's worth I have Ohlins on mine, fitted and set up by Mark Hammond https://www.mhracing.com/about.

A classic thread indeed

You obviously want Mupo which is fair enough, it's your money and your bike but...
You asked about Ohlis and immediately discounted them apparently due to the casting marks...
Everything else is shot down on the basis that you area big guy on a heavy bike going for fast A+B rides...
On an R9T... forgive me..
So buy the Mupo, you'll love it and don't need validation from the unwashed masses here
it’s quicker than my 749r and other bikes on that sort of stuff.I’d actually like a Wilbers.
For the ohlins, I pointed out why in this application I’m not keen.

Anyone bought anything from Shock Factory since Brexit? Conscious that the shock for my bike (M-Shock) is £300, then theres potentially import duties, and then VAT on top of it, so it's unclear how much in total it will be.
On the website it just says VAT and the DPD fee of a fiver, but not sure if thats strictly true or not?
They quoted the double adjustable one £430+vat. On the website it just says VAT and the DPD fee of a fiver, but not sure if thats strictly true or not?
So Cira £520 all in.
