I purposely chose a tertiary road that has big chunks in disrepair and the suspension really performed very well. Keep in mind I'm almost 80 lbs lighter from the cancer diet so that’s a factor, too. Some places that gave me a solid kidney punch in the America or Scrambler still did but it wasn’t quite as sharp a knock...whether that’s my new weight or the rear shock is a bit better I don’t know. The front end is a vast improvement and very similar to the Race Tech valve mod I had in the Scrambler but better, the total lack of braking dive is a solid confidence booster.
