R9T suspension improvements
So the other day I Rode my mates R9T which has Wilbers rear shock fitted as well as Wunderlich comfort seat. Now I know the suspension on R9T’s is not great but my one has the improved rear linkage which was a model year 21 change.
After half an hour on each other’s Urbans we compared and I’m pleased to say that there was not a huge difference at all. I was expecting night and day difference but they were very similar in ride comfort, compliance and general handling.
My mate noticed his seat was more comfy which I agree it was. I had a Wilbers shock in my shopping basket ready to consider if the difference had been noticeable. It wasn’t so I’ve saved £600
Out on the Urban today with mates down to Bahnstormer’s for coffee then of to the Waterfront cafe in Benson for brekkie by the river
