I think you'd have to put it on one of Cesar Rojo's Unnos.

I remember when the Judy Sl came out at like $650 and that was <<Mind Blown>> comparred to other forks. This seems very specialized (no pun intended) because it is a DH specific model.

Dunno how their bike stuff will be, but Ohlins is good for 2 or 3 seconds a lap on a road bike. Amazing stuff.

They'll be available through CRC for below wholesale in two months.

While this is true of huge manufacturers like Shimano/SRAM...is it really true of boutique offerings like Ohlins? You don't see wholesale pricing on stuff like MRP via CRC.

I've got an Ohlins on the rear of my Stumpjumper and it's been great. However, the Ohlins forks while great performers have been a pain to get parts for. We had the forks for months before different weight springs were available. Fork seals have been hard to come by too.

Hmm, I searched for these, now the ad bars show:

I've been looking at an Enduro, the Ohlins was a major selling point until I looked at reviews, now it seems like a good reason to not pull the trigger.

Sold one to a friend and he loves it. Said it replaced both his Stumpjumper and Demo 8. But, he is considering throwing a Fox 36 on there just so he doesn't have to deal with getting parts for the Ohlins.

I use to run ohlins on a race car, and this fork is more expensive than the entire set for that car.
