    Looking at possibly getting a Ohlins TTX rear shock for my 2011 blade.

    Anyone have any knowledge on the difference between the std MK2 TTX (HO931) and the new TTX GP (HO340)

    Currently doing some research on which one to get.

    I think the ttx gp is for track only but not 100% sure I'm right

    Thanks

    Just found this info on the Ohlins website

    "Based on the highly regarded TTX technology it has been developed from Öhlins’ vast experience in MotoGP.

    Compared with the standard TTX36 MkII, the compression and rebound adjustments have improved even further with a new adjustment needle, providing better guidance and a different flow restriction behavior. The function of the damper is more consistent with less variation and the adjusters work in a more precise manner. A new main piston completes the package, designed to improve traction and rider control. Did we mention that the weight is reduced even further? Among the advantages are a much improved chassis feedback as well as enhanced performance. Also, the adjustment range is even wider and with this new design, the variation in
    behavior from one shock absorber to another is further reduced – a proof of Öhlins commitment to precision. The TTX GP continues on the TTX36 path, sharing and improving on the benefits of one of the best shock absorbers in the world."

    Getting tempted by the TTX GP.

    Looks like a superb bit of kit for not much more than the Mk2
