hi all. Ive got a shock off an r1, just wondering if anyone knows if they are the same as the r6 shocks? Specifically, the spring rate. r6 shocks seem a lot cheaper ya see, im thinking of using a pair of each. Or should i just buy it and measure the spring rate?!

Also, does anyone who has a protec alloy bodied shock feel like weighing one? Id like to compare the weights, as the bike shock feels heavier than id envisaged.

cheers!

I will be using R6 - think you will find that the spring rate is 540 lbs/in

Hi J,

lol pat, doesnt get much better than that! now if i could just read the scale! is that 1.8kgs?

ps, r1 shock weighs about 2.2-2.4kgs.

Yep - 1.8kg.

Spring is shorter than most though, but sompensated with the stainless bolt!

And they look nice...
