They are expensive at around $8K for a set of 4 you probably won’t see many around.
they’ve been big in the bike and road race scene for s long time.

I'll be honest and say that I'm not 100% sure about pricing. I was under the impression that they were $3790 for all 4. Still pricey even at that though.
 
I think they are aligned with other quality 2.5 reservoir shocks, plus these are internal bypass if i read correctly.

They measure 57mm and so that puts them at about 2.25. And yes, they do have position sensitive hydraulic bump stops built into them. Also, I really like that they have adjustments for both compression AND rebound.

Gotcha, So a little smaller, sounds like a lot of tech built into them, curious to see how you like them.

Yeah, I'm not so keen on where they put the rebound adjuster on them. On the bike there was a big outer knob and smaller inner knob in same location at top of shock on the frame going to remote reservoir.

Yeah yeah that's cool and all but mainly, they're gold!

Lol, in all seriousness I'm eager to see how they perform. Like the others have mentioned, I've only heard of them in the motorcycle world and maybe rally racing if I recall correctly. Wonder how they'll hold up on a built up Jeep.
 
This is what these Ohlins shocks look like installed up front.

Looking good.

So what do they want you to do?

Desert Bombing
Rock Crawling
Dune Hopping
Mall Crawling

Don't really need shocks like this to go rock crawling. I'd say that these shocks are aimed more for people who have money to work with, who want a great daily drive ride and can get out on desert trails/fire roads with ultimate comfort. Essentially, your typical "overlander" type. Me, I'm hoping I can dial them in so that I can bomb across the desert at least as well as your basic bolt-on coilover kit if not better. But, we'll see.
