Ohlins is just springs. Ktech do the 20mm cartridge kit which improves the damping. There is a more expensive option of a 25mm kit that improves feel but all but rossi could feel the difference. The last three superstock titles were won with bikes on 20mm kit forks from Ktech :icon_thumright:

Ohlins does valve and seals bro as well as springs,  :icon_scratch:   but does depend on costs and what you want done and that goes for both k tec or ohlins...

if i had choice.....   ohlins...   k tec are cheaper and thats not to say there kit is crap because i do like k tec too. :icon_thumright:

 :dontknow: sorry jon don't mean to be a pain but I just want to know if anyone has used either and can they tell me how they find them to there standard and if they have used both what are there views between them....

To be honest though mate If I was a club racer I wouldn't be using a kit I would be buying a full fork whats the point of going half way  :dontknow:

yeah but they are doing this to race arn't they.... get sponsership and that pays for it , I mean if you trying to be the best you can be the best kit will help you to be better.

 :dontknow: though I understand not everyone can get sponsership etc  :dontknow:
