I now notice a lot of wayward rear wallow - that I've never noticed on their demo bikes....
does anyone else detect significant rear end undesirable movement below say 40 mph at the rear end - because the damping (compression and rebound) is wound off way to far ?
I know dynamic pro suspension damping is "active" AKA it changes with speed / riding style.... but what I now find is crazy unwanted movement causing undesirable wallow affecting bike control
I stopped and wound damping from +1 to maxed out +2 and initially I thought it tightened it up - but as the road caused me to slow to 10 to 30 mph round some undulating bends for half a mile or so the back of the bike was doing exactly the same - huge unnecessary and undesirable movement - as you take it to 60mph the bike gets substantially stiffer and behaves OK - but I'd say only giving a level of soft squidgy low speed comfort you might want for a gentle tour - and as you slow again its almost dangerously all over the place adding nothing helpful - yes, comfort wins a tiny bit but rideability is totally missing - as the bike ties itself in knots at low speed trying to recover from up to 4" in either direction so 8" of pointless movement - as if the damping back out far too much - below 20 mph the damping is effectively removed - where non active other make bikes it would be the opposite, in control but with a bit of a harsh ride
I can see if I was in enduro mode that suppleness would be sensible of slow offroad section - But thats not the mode I've even tried - seems very faulty to me
