INFO on 2014 GG??

[Vindicator]

Reiger suspension is used on the Dakar Kamaz truck team amongst others. I think Mini's also equip with Reiger
They have a reputation for being quite good but until some years ago their market was racing teams with big $$$ to spend on a custom made suspensions.
Slowly they have been reaching consumer market mostly at the expense of local country tuners that adopt their products. In Portugal, one of our top Off Road riders is using Reiger stuff on its Yamaha and my impression is that he started getting better results because of it.
Some time ago I read an article from a spanish magazine where they tested the Reiger shocks on GasGas . For what is worth , they considered the shocks a nice to have improvement over stock (sachs) in particular the B46:

This is Reiger's top notch shock and for what I understand seems to combine Ohlins TTX Stability Control (CSC) with WP TRAXX rebound control all in one. If this is the one GG will have then it's a very good improvement.
More information on this shock here http://ww2.naniracing.com/FitxersWeb/39671/RRS00006_CATALEG_cataleg.pdf

My only concern would be parts availability, I haven't heard anything good or bad about it.

Reiger is well known in Europe.
I had a standard Reiger shock and this one works better than the standard Ohlins by almost the same price.
Reiger offers different shocks and setups.
I can only imagine that GG wil come with a Reiger shock for the Racing or Replica bikes, like the Trial Bikes.

That is some helpful information, maybe they make an superior product.

I wonder if GG talked with Solva?

Any one got more info on changes?

They should be released soon.

We shall see...............

I got some info earlier this week but am waiting on pricing and some other things before I send it to dealers. So far looks like some minor engine and frame updates. They will be using a new Reiger shock in 2014 rather than the Ohlins.

Not a good thing for me. I have been tuning suspension since 1972. I don't think I can learn another manufacturer. Oh well, that's what happens when you get "too old".

So does the "frame update" mean changing back to the alloy subframe for all models?

I would say yes, considering all info that has leaked out as of now.
