Ohlins good. Penske good.

But best tech for the money, I highly recommend you look into Elka. That have a LOT of easy adjustability on them, and they are very reasonably priced. An example, they have roller bearings being the plates that lower/raise the preload spring for easy adjusting, as oppose to breaking your knuckles with the stupid spanner wrench that nobody owns or carries anyway. I know a lot of people racing that are very satisfied with 'em.
Take off like a 13, flick it like a 6

I know RCC sells Elka Suspension. We have an elka shock on our bike very easy to use.
