Linear perform better.

Solution: linear damper with a race mount kit. That's what I'll be doing with an Ohlins.

i understand rotarys come from the dirt world and linear comes from superbike racing and that each design is optimised for those intended purposes. that said, ive been looking across the pond at sprint

Yeah the rotarys were originally designed for dirt bikes since they crash better and there are less moving parts/seals exposed to the environment.

The sprints are nice and relatively inexpensive. Dave, for the best price on sprint dampers go to globalmoto.net.

This is the kind of setup I'm going to have for my ohlins... as you can see the ignition/key barrel needs to be removed. However the damper is clearly nice and protected. Best of both worlds:

good to know, im also looking at hyperpro. i really like the idea of active valving
