| I'd say that you can tell the difference. Went from OEM non nitrided showas to OEM nitrided and with the latter on the road I noticed a smoother ride, less "jiggle" on poor road sufaces is the only way I can put it.
The nitriding is meant to reduce "sticktion", maybe that leads to the forks absorbing the oscillations caused by poor surfaces whereas un nitrided forks "stick" and feed the oscillations up into the bars and frame?
I rode two bikes back to back down the same road, the ride on the nitrided showas was like a magic carpet.
I also rode an Ohlins equiped bike and couldn't tell the difference between nitrided showas and Ohlins so maybe I'm not Mr sensitive when it comes to feedback afterall??
