Hi!

Here is a link to the 2013 Racing models, at least for Europe.

Could someone elaborate a bit on this ?hlins fork? Is it the TTX or some other open chamber material? From the top caps it seems that it could be the TTX technology(?). Also, the bottom lugs are the same as ?hlins fork top EWC racers use this year. I am about to order a 250 2T Racing 2013 after 2 years on 125s.

Regards,

Leon
 
If those show up in the US, I know a 2012 that will be going up for sale. I love the CC 'Zokes but between the Zokes and the Ohlins, I'll choose Ohlins everytime.
 
Except the stickers it seems exactly the same as the Ohlins TTX fork on the 2012 replica bikes... I am in Love. My last EC250 was a racing 2007 with Ohlins forks which was finally stolen and never found. It's time to go back to a 250 Racing....

You look right, it's ?hlins TTX which together with the new STX46 rear shock fitted to the new 300 racing "Nordic Racing" 2013. This model is specially designed for the Nordic market and a setting suited to conditions in Sweden, Norway and Finland.

If you look on the stickers on the fork you can read "Nordic Racing" in red. :D

Well that's interesting being as I've moved to Norway this yr....:D
 
Zoom in, you can see the weld around the insert. Maybe plastic has been an issue in Nordic cold?
 
Hi!

Talks for changing my road registered 2008 EC125 plus cash in one of the gasgas distributors didn't go through.. Currently I am trying to sell my 125 and then order this nordic racing 250 (I noticed the stickers couple of days ago...). Special offer is still going on through the official importer. I will ask again now about the status and duration of this offer and if we can find some solution.

Thank you for clarifying about the Ohlins fork and the stronger subframe..!

Wow, you europeans are spoilt. That front fork would entice many on colour alone. What's the stx 46 though, is it a shock somewhere between 888 and ttx44?

GG offer many variables on their bikes around the world, i hope that doesn't hurt them in these tough economic times, i'd have thought consolidation would have been paramount.

Ohlins suspension front and rear on Australian bikes would result in extra sales in my opinion provided prices didn't rise too much. We all bow to the big "O" even if they're not necessarily the best, but in reality in an un modded state they're pretty bloody good. (oz/rods terminology)
 
Here this is very uncommon, Ohlins is rare. What we do have are lot of very good tuners that make the other stuff work quite well. Out of the box performance is usually not even a concern.
 
Hi again!

The finnish importer confirmed to me that this is probably a swedish importer special and it is not going to be imported. Only the racing version with the Marzocchi 48 and the stronger subframe he will import. He removed the picture from the finnish gasgas facebook site in order not to confuse people.

Sorry if I caused confusion.
