    Did some research on these and most would not notice the difference between these and Ohlins apart from a healthier bank balance.
    Both will be a million times better than OEM as the OEM will be sprung to allow 2 up riding.

    The only real tangible difference is the the resale value, ohlins do hold their value well

    I've used Nitron shocks on a couple of my race bikes over the years and I think they are superb. Their reputation is getting better all the time and I love the fact that they are made in the UK. The Race Pro version is every bit as good as a TTX Ohlins in my opinion. As the get more and more recognized then the resale value will improve (but it's not that bad to be honest).

    So, having used the product myself and been very happy with it I decided i wanted to sell it and therefore I'm now a Nitron dealer. I'll be happy to do my best to beat any advertised price for forum members.

    On a bike I bought recently it has a nitron shock fitted. There's a remote adjuster on a bracket. Is this for the damping? And if so is it rebound and compression? Sorry don,t know a lot about it but looks very well made!

    I have used a Nitron Pro Race on my R6 race bike for the last season and a half and I can say it has been fantastic. Really can't fault it and good value for money too.
