Press release from Öhlins
The exciting new Ducati Diavel has turned the world of motorcycling on its head, delivering the performance of a superbike with the attitude and street presence of a cruiser. Since its launch, the motorcycle press have heaped praise on this new concept from Ducati and now Öhlins has developed a replacement shock absorber that is certain to further enhance the Diavel’s already formidable reputation. This latest offering features external compression and rebound adjustors, plus a hose mounted hydraulic spring preload adjuster.
Developed using Öhlins’ unrivalled experience in suspension gained through considerable MotoGP and World Superbike success, the new shock absorber priced at £856 +VAT contains all the quality and performance you would expect from an Öhlins product. As well as adjustable spring preload via a hose mounted hydraulic preload adjuster, the shock absorber has an external reservoir with compression adjustor that locates on the Ducati’s subframe within easy reach, making fine tuning your suspension for the ultimate ride a simple turn away. Öhlins and Ducati have a long history of working together and this new shock absorber is another example of the two famous brands collaborating to enhance and showcase their products.
Öhlins helped Ducati to their first World Superbike Championship in 1988 (Raymond Roche), then through the famous Carl Fogarty years and the brands are now synonymous with each other in racing at all levels.
