Sachs Shocks

I had seen this question posted on another forum with no reply's. This was about a GasGas and some of their bikes have both Sachs forks and shocks. Since Husky uses Sachs shocks I would like to know what your thoughts are on them.


"I was talking with the guy who does my suspension.He was saying the Sachs stuff he has worked on was not made very well made,cheap was the term he used. Anyone else have similar findings?"

Sachs, cheap? That would be news to me. I would be very surprised to tear into mine and find that it was cheaply made. Personally, I thought it was cool to have a bike with forks made by a company known for forks and dampers made by a company known for dampers. Not that Kayaba, Showa, Ohlin's, can't suitably build both... but it's very "boutique" to buy from "specialists". My .02.

The Sach's shocks on all of my Huskies have been very good and far from the week link on the bikes. This is the first time I have heard anyone describe the Sach's shock as "cheap" and poorly made.

Take it to another shop..

The Sachs are very well built and actually better than some of the ohlins that have been supplied on other bikes recently. The sachs has an alloy steel body for better high temp behavior and decreased service intervals.

The Sachs are very good, but they aren't without problems - a few of them need updated/upgraded parts to work properly - Look on the LT-Racing website for more details :
