    Kayaba vs. Sachs

    I need a new set of dampers, I see that Autolink are selling Kayaba and Sachs. Does any one have any experience of either of these dampers please?

    I have MX Spare Trim Springs fitted and I'm not after a super sporty ride, just a decent and effective set of dampers.

    Re: Kayaba vs. Sachs

    Surprised that there is no feedback or opinions on this question? Has no one any experience of these damper units?

    Re: Kayaba vs. Sachs

    The only experience of Kayaba and Sachs I have are on motorcycles and Kayaba always have the edge , this is not say sachs are rubbish but they tend to be on budget european bikes and Kayaba are on nearly every Jap bike as standard and the bikes fitted with Kayaba always outhandle and provide better quality ride.
