Following countless test sessions, although realistically itâ??s that good, only one forty minute stint was needed to realise that this just had to be standard equipment for next year, here is the first picture of the new shock absorber designed and manufactured specifically for the 2011 M.M.X.
Weighing in at approximately one and a half kiloâ??s less that the previous Reiger shock; the all new unit features a wealth of adjustment, with 50 click settings on the rebound, 45 clicks on the high speed compression, and 25 on the low speed compression as standard. With the top end of the shock beautifully manufactured from Billet and a coated rod, it is expected that the production models will come with an anodised reservoir and will be manufactured to suit the weight of each individual rider when the customer orders his or her bike.
Keeping tight lipped about the name behind the manufacture of the unit Maico International are refusing to name the company until the production bike is released later this year.

Be rest assured its not an ohlins, Lesley and I are chasing round Europe at the moment, I don't want to mention any particular country as it may give a few more clues away.I know everyone is desperate to see the bikes but their are other factors within the industry that are contributing to our timing of the release.
You won't be disappointed

I have a ? Are you guy's going to have a race team here in the US for supercross.

Sölva shock?

Here's a question for someone who knows shocks. The Ohlins on my Husky have two springs each, mounted in series. There's a smaller one up top and then a larger, main spring. However, this newer shock shown here only has one spring. I tried looking up a couple of old bikes to see how common dual springs were back in the day, but they were all covered by stupid number plates (or in the case of the YZ, a gas tank). I haven't really paid much attention to it, but I believe that most, if not all of my dad's old bikes have dual-spring shocks. I presume the reason for this is to provide faster response for small bumps but still have enough balls to take the big stuff. So what I'm wondering is, why wasn't that done here? Are they getting the same effect now with geometry, or with the inner workings of the shock absorber itself? Or are tracks to day just so damn smooth that it's not necessary? Curious minds want to know.

well as i was reading the setup manual for the rear shock
wp for example has 2 screws so you can set up the softer and harder landing

No. Most shocks have been single spring since the 80's.

Not a great pic but we might have a winner.

Rising rate linkages provide the same "ramp up" in spring rate that manufacturers were trying to achieve with dual rate springs during the time of your Husqvarna.

ok
