Default RE: TT Ducati 999r EP VS Venum GPV-1

hobbimaster: As for the rear shock, many of the UK guys like using a Revo shock, but I find the stock shock to work perfectly IF YOU REPLACE THE BLADDER. The bladder TT uses appears to deform during assembly. I replace them with bladders from a shock rebuild kit for an XTM Mammoth, but I'm sure that other bladders will work fine also, as long as they are stiffer and slightliy larger diameter than the stock one. So to save a bit of money, pick up a couple of bladders from your LHS, along with some diff oils for tuning. I personally like 5000 CPS for heavy damping on my electric bike, but on my nitro ones, I run even thicker 7000 CPS. Many guys prefer a slightly softer rear end, so if you decide to give the TT rear shock a try, I would suggest starting off at 3000 CPS oil.

Good luck!
