It’s important for dudes to test. When I got my new bike I tried it will different fork height and sag settings to find the blend that felt best to me.

How far off the manufacturer specs did you wind up?!?!

@@SeatTime I have a GasGas EC300. I pushed the forks up to the third line from second (manual value) and rider sag at 115. I tried 110 (manual value) and 105 but it came together for me at 115 in terms of handling. Which is weird but it worked. Feels predictable and had a bit of an effect of feeling like I had lowered the bike. KTECH ORVS in forks and a KTECH bladder kit and revalve on the shock.
I don’t really ride fast (😀) but I’m in a lot of rocks, abrupt (surprise) up and downs and off camber doo doo here in PA. So I set the suspension fairly soft to take the sting out of riding on rubble all day. But not so soft that it collapses on a sudden up or down.
I generally run about four more out on rebound on the shock and the forks versus the corresponding compression setting. Let’s the suspension recover quickly from all the lumps. Prevents packing through a long string of larger rocks and gives me good traction.
