I was checking to revalve my rear 450R Shock.I was checking for Gt Thunder and Hygear.

I don't know what to choose : GT Thunder rear + Mx link or Hygear Pro package rear only

Gt thunder pro : Many good feedback
They have a linkage
Cost less

Hygear pro : Dual Spring
Low/Hi compression adjuster
Extended bladder cap

Gt Thunder con : No dual spring
Stock compression adjuster

Hygear con : Don't have linkage
Cost a little more

I Ride Mx !!!

Thanks

Hygear = never heard of, doesn't race (I don't think)

GThunder = proven performance, Brandon Sommers and Laz is pretty fast also.

I my opinion there is no comparision.

I have the Hygear pro package..I love it. Also all of the guys at HYGEAR race. Also all of the guys who he supports are in the top of their respective classes. He does not run a link because with the dual rate spring you dont need one. Plus the main advantage is, the High and low speed comp. adj. I had Elkas before and the HYGEAR setup blows them out of the water!! You might pay a little more but you will get a much better shock.

Also there is a article in this months issue of Dirt wheels on Hygear, and the high low valves.

Will Hygear service after market shocks as well?? Does anyone know?? Will they adjust the shocks to the rider and suspension components being used??

He will adjust ANY shock. He is also a Custom Axis dealer. He will rebuild or maint. any shock you have. Give him a call
