To my understanding after past discussions with Viking tech/sales reps at expo shows, Viking brand was created by the QA1 ppl ... certain staff left QA1 to form their own company... Viking (located in the Minnpls MN area, ala... "Viking".. not far away from the QA1 factory, etc. also, Viking only produces and sells double-adjustable shocks (if that's still true), thereby keeping costs down, instead of having multi-lines of shocks.

I intend to get the Vikings dbl-adj for my AX/HSAX/HPDE Challenger T/A.. replacing my old red Konis. Dbl-adj shocks gives the ultimate in fine-tuning the ride, etc... performance intended.
