Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Are the Ohlins worth the £2.5 they now cost

Thanks Jon.

I have Hagerty. They have agreed upon values.

In my humble opinion, they have transformed the ride immensely - very noticeable.

There is another thread on them here with ~20 pages with my comments and my installation experience: https://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/756706/20

I sure love my Ohlins, the car rides better than my Mini Cooper S with Bilstien shocks. It handles better and there is a lot less shaking in the frame to body and felt vibes in the steering wheel.

I fitted Schock Factory "2win at the rear" and "M Schock" at the front for me, a very average driver, it's very efficient and not very expensive. These shock absorbers designed by an English man Mike Capon, a specialist in competition shock absorbers. Schock absorber are made in France, adjustable, repairable and guaranteed. For very good pilots, of which unfortunately I am not one, there is now a new M shock model which allows you to adjust relaxation and compression independently. I should point out that I do not know Mr. Capon and I do not own any shares in Schock Factory.

J'ai monté des Schock Factory "2win à l'arrière" et "M Schock " à l'avant pour moi conducteur très moyen c'est très efficace et pas très cher. Ces amortisseurs conçus par un anglais Mike Capon spécialiste en amortisseurs de compétition sont fabriqués en France, réglables, réparables et garantis. Pour les très bons pilotes dont hélas je ne fais pas partie il y a un maintenant un nouveau modèle M schock qui permet de régler indépendamment détente et compression. Je précise que je ne connais pas Mr Capon et je ne possède aucune action chez Schock Factory.

Do you have any more information about the exact model of 2win and M-Shock for your M3W, or which type of motorcycle they are for please Bilymog? It looks like the Shock Factory is a UK supplier as well as France, so possibly a more reasonably priced alternative? They look like they a large range of shocks for bikes.

Could be of interest to me as well, given my M3W is resident in France. Otherwise I may take a set of ATR shocks out with me next spring.

Schock Factory - have a couple of customers that have upgraded from these to Ohlins and they say that the Ohlins are still another step forward in ride comfort although the Schock factory units are an improvement over the Spax units.

Beware that if you have an Empire kit already installed up front then the Schock factory units are a very close fit between damper and the Empire support to engine mount bolt.

Received my front and rear pair of Ohlins today in black. Ordered through Nobby Edward’s of Krazyhorse. Beautiful Ohlin workmanship. Really looking forward to installing them in the Spring. My Morgan three wheeler is hibernating now.

You will wonder why MMC did not install such nice shocks from the factory for the prices they charge for the machine. Your frame will also appreciate the fact that it is not being beaten every time you take out the wee beastie for a spin.

Thanks Stephen.
