i know that but ohlins looks like the only company that is making them and is selling the system. i think they put it on the 2003 model but im not really sure, i thing wr250 knows more about that than i do

idk, some of the more pricey enduro bikes have had them around for a bit. people seem to like them but u lose a decent amount of hp turning the pump. im not sure if they will ever catch on but its kinda cool.

wr250f95 · 09-24-2007, 02:42 PM

but, its estimated that 15% more power is put to the ground

tigmaster · 09-24-2007, 03:32 PM

but u are turning a hydraulic pump. power is lost no matter what. i believe the more power but if u are that concerned with power transfer, get a wider rear tire.

wr250f95 · 09-24-2007, 04:19 PM

is it the future for motorcycles? no, its not practical.
is it a definite plus in some areas? yes.
is it cool? hell yeah.

tigmaster · 09-24-2007, 04:38 PM

ya, ike i was sayin. ya its cool but right now its too inefficient to be running. but look at cars. 4wd used to destroy gas mileage but they were able to implement it into so many cars with no noticeable dif. just look at all the subarus and the lancer evo. awd is the future for cars so maybe it is for bikes too, but i dont see it happening for a long time.
