I have a wilbers type632. Adjustable preload, rebound, slow and fast compression and height. Used for 500 miles than sold my bike. Bought it for 1050usd but its xours for 600. U can check it at www.wilbers.de.Hi Guys what shock options are there for a SC mono shock?

Why would you want to give up compression damping if you have it even on the stock version? Whats the benefit then? I am not sure but I think this one does not even have an external gas container. I would not go in that direction. Probably Ohlins is the best solution but thats pretty expensive though.Emulsion Penske for ~$500 You give up compression adjust, but it is a solo bike, so if they set it up right, how often do you fart around with the adjustment?
Yeah, I went through all that , and this was the main reason for me to choose the Wilbers one. At least it was easy to get it from Germany. Changing only the rear without touching the front is not the best option. I would definitely have the front forks respringed at least in order to harmonize with the better rearshock.The problem with the Ohlins is that Ducati worked out some kind of deal with Ohlins to only offer the shock for our bikes through Ducati Performance. It can't be bought through a regular Ohlins dealer. Thus, it costs about twice what it would otherwise, and also about twice what you would pay for another brand with equal performance. Very annoying.
They are pretty though, and seem to work well, if you can afford one.
I had a Wilbers on my Monster and it was fantastic. More capable than me as a rider for sure. Superb quality.I have a wilbers type632.
