    Thinking of improving the suspension set up on my 2011 blade by fitting a rear Ohlins TTX shock and possibly fitting a front fork cartidge kit.

    Following some research there seame to be 2 cartrige choices
    - 30mm cartridge kit (FGK203) - Around £800+duty
    - 25mm TTX cartidge kit (FGR153) - Around £1320+duty

    Also there are some Ohlins front forks (FGRT813) available for similar cost to the 25mm TTX25 cartidge kit (Around £1350 ish +duty)

    Any of you guys got any knowlwdge or experience of the above.

    Would like some advice.

    Many thanks

    Following some research I think 30mm NIX cartridge kit is the way to go.

    Any of you guys got this fitted?

    For having an FGRT and a nix3à cart kit, the cart kit is the way to go. forget the 25mm, it's the oldest kit, and 30m is much better street and track.

    Both myself and Jase had the TTX Rear and the 30mm Front Cartridges fitted to our bikes.

    Top notch and around £2250 depending on time of year at KAIS in Manchester.

    They are heavy in to the racing season at the mo so prices might not be so keen at present, we had ours fitted in late December when they were quite! :cool:

    Thanks for the advice, had a long chat with them today and they were keen to do a deal.

    Also Ohlins UK are reducing their prices next month due to the exchange rate.

    Also for info the rear TTX GP shock is replacing the current TTX Type2
