It is not so much about what brand you choose, all the better brands can
make good shock absorbers. The problem lies in being able to explain to
the manufacturer what we want from the damper. I use Ohlin, because the
factory is located in Stockholm and then I can easily get different sets
of shims and have them assembled like what I want.
But Penske can certainly offer equally good service, (I think). So, Ohlin
or Penske makes no difference.
Personally I think it's good with four-way adjustability, then you can
adjust the compression damping down when riding on regular roads which
then gives a bit more pleasant ride. Compression damping knob located on
the container so it is very easily done.
