WP Suspension from MX-TECH!

(If I may be so bold as to sling a little 'spam') :p

What kind of bike are you looking to put the aftermarket suspenders on>

a 2000 kdx 220 is what i have. How much $ is the WP suspension? and how much of an improvement would it be over the stock kdx suspension?

I believe it would be nothing less than a "major" improvement and the fork and shock combo would probably run about $2200.00. You'd probably also have to change the triple clamp, so consider that an extra expense.

Here in Sweden öhlins rules as aftermarket suspension for serious racers. Im sure they are some of the best and should be for the price of $3000 just for the forks!

I assume they are better than stock since they cost so much and people does really use them. But in the other hand i cant understand why they cant make stock suspension just as good? Patented technology? Costs?

Std suspension costs nearly the same if you buy it separate.The only forks i would buy are showa twin chambers as all the others are based on similar designs.

you wouldnt have to spend much more than $2200 to get a decent MX bike with decent suspension on to start with.
