Difference between #42102 and #53571 shocks

[skom25]

Hi,

Till yesterday I was almost sure that #42102 are just "standard" aluminium, when #53571 are TRF. Then I found that both are TRF.

What is difference between them? #53571 are MUCH more expensive that #42102.

I am looking for XV-01 shocks.

It looks like the #53571 are the older type which have now been discontinued.

42102 have the better adjustment collars machined out of aluminum with an o-ring to hold them in place.

53571 are the older ones with plastic collars that are unmarked and can sometimes turn inadvertently. I make my own  index with a small drill and a drop of paint.

Do you know what length you will need for you XV?

Thank you!

I am not sure, but they are listed as compatible.

In that case, I will wait for newer version. Maybe it will appear someday...
