will cannondale front shocks work on a 400ex. i am thinking about getting some of the ohlins shocks that came stock on the cannondale. i can get them pretty cheap. are these even any better than the stock shocks that came on the 400ex?

It will work but the stroke is too short and valving and spring rates are wrong.

Ahhh don't listen to Chico....he's got mad crazy loot!!!!;)



I ran the Ohlins on my EX. I had the older rebuildable no rez shocks. I had to make up some new shock bushings, other than that they were perfect. Al Carr from ReActive suspension hooked them up for me. I used these shocks to run the stock class in the GNCC races and they worked fine.
