Just fitted some to the rex,look real nice an heavy duty.If anybody else buys a set make sure they get the lower bush size right at 20mm wide,cus the 25mm ones dunna fit!!.Are the 11 and 12 swinging arm shock mountings different? got to do front springs next so will not know what the ride like for a while.

As far as I know they are the same, the shocks are, so the mounts should be.
Are the nitros fully adjustable?
Have done the Racetech thing to the front of mine, just waiting on the Works shox to complete the package.

Hi Orserider - how have you got on with these - I think the Ohlins look ace but don't want to spend £699 for the extra bling.....its strange but PDQ are telling me that the cheaper non adjustable Ohlins at £350 odd (Kcearl has these set up for him) aren't available for the 12 - only the11......but if the Nitros are £299 then perhaps that's the way to go - 'specially as I cant be bothered messing about with the suspension - I just want it to work for my weight and riding style......

I'm sure I've seen a snippet somewhere saying Hagon do a reservoir type shock for ELR's but they're not on the Hagon website.

Only just seen replies ,the shocks are fine no probs so far just make sure they supply the correct lower bush ,mine was to wide.They did not do any other type of shock for the rex when these were brought.They will supply a spring rate for what u do/weight carried/touring ect.
