Probably it's the same as what I got the other day. It's selling RM 350/pair here but only Tokico's available, no Japanese made Kayaba. Only local KYBs.

I heard KYB is pretty strict with the sales... they don allow singapore dealer to supply to malaysian market. tht will be unfair to malaysia's dealer. whoever found distributing stock to other country dealership will be withdrawn.

If Normality78 is helping to buy over the counter, should be ok gua. But the price's almost the same here (for Tokico) mar, after conversion; silap2 more expensive if freight included.

Yup.

Normality78, can help me ask your friend if he has any Tokico or KBY Japan stort stroke absorber? I'm interested. Thx.

 

[normality78]

artnet,
if you ask thm to supply to msia, i doubt they wanna do so also. im still finding my best effort to check the best price around the spore. the one qouted me kyb had dealed with kyb for 29 years liao so its reputable shop in spore and he dare to endorsed fully made in japan else can bring him to courts. whahahaha

my latest info is tokico can get as cheap as sgd55 and kyb is sgd78. If dun convert to RM, i think those sporean can afford to change absorber almost every month. wahahahaha

 

[wfhan]

ask a questions,
between tokico and kyb, which one provides stiffer ride feels (if match with same coil spring).?

 

[sache]

In a gas-pressurized design, the oil inside the shock body is pressurized to minimize the negative effects of foaming or cavitation. For maximum performance, the shock piston must work in clear oil. Oil naturally has some air bound up in solution. When the shock's piston moves through the oil, a pressure drop is created behind the piston, which permits air to come out of solution, so oil foaming occurs. By maintaining gas pressure on the oil, foaming is reduced.
There are two types of gas-pressurized shocks, monotube high-pressure and twin-tube low-pressure. Generally, a twin-tube low-pressure shock provides a better ride for a given level of control compared to a monotube high-pressure style.


Tokico Gas Shocks - Difference



I think Tokico only made absorber while using KYB spring.

 

[normality78]

i heard frm the seller its kyb

 

[kennix]

Ya, Kayaba is stiffer cause I've compared both. Got myself KYB from fren and later heard that Tokico is nice..so I tried..but ended up I missed my KYB...hahaha...

Go for KYB with their Spring, that will be nice and without compromising comfort.

Dennis,

The Tokico you bought is M'sian or Japanese made ? Or did you really bought "Tokiko" instead of Tokico ?

 

[sache]

That the problem. I think last night, it superbly impossible to get less RM500 for Tokico. Back in 90's it already RM2000, now in year 2007, so "futurama".
