Hello.

Wanna ask if any users might sharing their experience with proride absorber.

Thinking of changing my absorber since it been a while

Looking at proride standard or heavy duty, pair it with stock spring

Want comfort.

They got 3 models in 3 colors.

Yellow - Performance version
Red - Heavy Duty
Black - Normal

I think black is what u looking for if u want comfort. Heavy duty could still be on the hard side but correct me if i'm wrong.

Not really. The seller told me the red is heavy duty but same stroke as the black.

I'm contemplating between proride and this greber.

Anyone?

Problem with all these non branded absorber is that they just use a standard damping profile for their absorber. The performance is very likely less superior and less tuned than an oem version.

different brand will give different spec and feel. proride is a cheap brand came from sapura industrial (which produce oem stuff for numbers of major brand)..but to say it's non branded..nope. just their focus is more to cheap and affordable aftermarket parts. so..paham2 sendiri la.

I have tried APM Performax in Proton Saga BLM.

Good comfort handling balance durable enough.

But sadly APM does not make one for Proton Preve. I'm even contemplating for ProRide Heavy duty stuff.

hello, nope.

I didn't bought the proride absorber.
in fact, I didn't buy any absorber at the moment.

but should you be looking for an absorber, you can look under the automotive thread, there's this bro who is selling absorber.
much cheaper and review, seems to be good.

I only tried lowered spring from APM before, I find it average.

comfort in street and still ok in highway..
of course, if you always frequent highway like me, adjustable will give you better handling

Hi There,

Was a Pro-ride user, got performance series (Yellow) and sport spring to replace stock units.
Can't comment how good it is cause I've only had stock and Pro-ride, but durability wise, mine hv no issue after few years. (Drive almost everyday, rough road with potholes (klang zzz), taman banyak bumps)
