Ohlins Safety Notice

Ohlins Safety Notice

TOM REILLY |

It has been brought to our attention that we need to issue a STOP RIDE notice regarding the Ohlins RXF 36 29/27.5+ and 27.5 Air Forks spec’d as original equipment on the 2017 Stumpjumper, Enduro, and Fuse and the 2018 Stumpjumper, Enduro, Levo, and Fuse. Additionally, these same forks plus the RXF 34 forks sold in the aftermarket are included.

These forks may contain a defect in the top cap which potentially affects safety. The Öhlins RXF 34 Air forks may contain the same defect. As a consequence, we are asking our riders to stop riding these forks.

Our ask of you is to stop riding and await an answer from Öhlins, who is working on a fix. 

This is our first communication to you on this subject, and we promise additional communications shortly as we further develop our planning around a fix. We wanted to get you this stop sale notice as soon as we could, which means we have not worked out all the details yet. We are working hard to find a solution that minimises the inconvenience for all concerned parties as much as possible and we hope you understand and appreciate that we'll need time to obtain necessary government approvals for the fix.
 
Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to call 49242600 or email our workshop workshop@driftbikes.com.au 
 
We apologise for the inconvenience and aim to have you back riding ASAP.

Regards from the Drift Bikes Team
