better than the basic ohlins -not better the than the full boat 1300.00 fully adjustable ones-if your running the thruxton cup races you want those -if your a street rider the hagons are just as good for 300.00 -i use the hagons at track days and they are better than the ohlins i had,but they are 10mm longer and put more weight on the front-but just putting around the street i really can' tell the difference-which really blows my mind because i have ohlins on all my other bikes
