Brembo and Öhlins are, by far and away, the it-girls of special parts you want to see on your bike. Unfortunately, they don't always come in pairs—just check out the KYB front forks on Yamaha's MT-09 SP and the Showa suspension on my Street Triple. But that might be about to change.
Brembo just signed an agreement with Tenneco, a portfolio company of funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., for the acquisition of a 100% stake in Öhlins Racing, making it the largest acquisition in the brand's history.
