Yep! But the other shock cylinders in the set, are they of the softer
kind? So there's two kinds of shock suspenders in the set?

It also looks like the 8448, which is due this year, has the same shock
cylinders for the front suspension. There's only one per front wheel,
so I assume the extra "stiffness" of the cylinder makes up for that.
But it remains to see what kind of front suspension system the 8448
has. It's probably something quite new. Or perhaps it's the same as in
8858? Or in 8865?
