I think they are just badges glued on. No difference in the forks as far as I know.Hey - I've spotted a few bikes recently that have the black "Roadholder" forks. What's the main differences between these and the USD Ohlins my CR has? Is there a preference? I assume they were model specific?
Nothing wrong with my Ohlins...I'm just curious.
3 can play…Two can play at that game!

They got a bloody good deal with Ohlins though, essentially 50% off.The long term intention was to build their own forks as Ohlins were so expensive and “difficult to work with”. The idea was to build the Roadholder brand first, then start building their own forks once the brand was accepted. This is according to a conversation with SG.
However the plan never progressed further than the ‘glue some bent up badges on’ stage…
Kinda surprised that Ohlins didn’t have something to say about this ‘badge engineering’ really.
