They're acting like Öhlins has a monopoly, but Showa isn't exactly behind either.

Feels like it's been years since anyone got access to Öhlins like this. Valuable stuff.

Factory-tour features like this always feel like glorified PR to me.

Even if it's promotional, I'm just happy to see inside a factory we never normally see.

A secret in-house Öhlins device, I bet the specs never actually get disclosed.
