It's what it says on the rezzies, I think they're GT thunder works shocks.

And judging by that:Not quite eliminating pitch....

Still, much better than speed ohlins.


Got to hang off it like the YFZ guy laugh.gif
Otherwise add more crossover to the upper helper spring.

Yes. Where did you find that? I was on their site and can't find anything.

Just search HLS shocks. There is nothing on their site in the way of pics, but these are common in the xc belt of PA, OH, VA, etc. The comp adjuster is on the top of the rezzie that looks like a door lock button on an old GM. What does it look like internally?

They are common with a lot of xc racers. GT Thunder is a household name nowadays.

The adjuster is a needle valve but has no shims for bypass like all other ones. I didn't dig in further to check for any other relief valves so its a possibility but maybe there just isn't any relief valving for adjuster. I knew about GT Thunder but never knew they had their own shocks. So how much are they new?

Not sure what you paid Marshall but they aren't cheap new. Saw mixed reviews also. Odd since they seem very adjustable should be easy to get what someone needs but I have found many don't even take time to adjust their shocks.

I think they were around $300 off ebay, plus the servicing and shipping. In the UK, that's very cheap. To have my speed Ohlins setup and serviced it was going to cost more, let alone have rezzies added to them.
