Ohlins Customer Appreciation Day 12-13 March 2010

[Sporting Motors]

As an Ohlins instructor will be in Singapore to conduct advanced training for us and our dealer, we have taken the chance to organise a basic seminar plus appreciation day at Pasir Gudang for riders.

 

The purpose of the seminar is for riders to understand a little bit more about suspension and the workings. On the appreciation day at PG, riders will be able to seek advice from the instructor as well as our mechanics and guest riders present for advice on riding and suspension settings.

Good point, Raptor. Open to everyone. Even if you don't have an Ohlins on your bike, you will always be a potential customer

Very Nice.. Trackies shud consider sign up for this excellent opportunity.. Especially those who plan to race this year..

[Raptor]

Agree with Doc Dol on this.

 

Good suspension set up = stability in acceleration, braking and corners = faster corner speeds = faster lap times.

 

Fast lap times are not made up on the straights.. its in the corners. PG has 2 decent straights.... but 12 corners.

 

An improvement of 0.25 sec per corner due to increased corner speeds = an improvement of 3 secs per lap!!!!

 

Its these seemingly insignificant looking small bits that will matter over the 10 laps or so in determining whether you are a particapant or winner of that race.

alamak! i be in land of the free n home of the brave..nonetheless its a damn good programme ...strongly encourage...nice work,sporting....

These customer appreciation days and tracktime has had me thinking more and being more particular about my suspension setup.

 

I certainly enjoyed the tracktime today; it really serves a purpose to test out my new settings. My bike's cornering abilities have improved and hopefully confidence will come next

 

And also, thanks to the staff, the mechs that came today, and the foreign Ohlins specialists too. They were more than helpful. Not many common people like us all today have easy access to such skilled suspension mechanics other than those at the racing level worldwide, so today was certainly a special day.

Thanks to Sporting Motor and staffs.
