Ride Shocks - a long-term review. (video linked at end)

[telenerd]

Anyone have any more feedback on these shocks? One thing I’m curious about is the tune. They come set wide open on the adjustments from accutune. Is wide open super plush or have people found they want the shocks even softer but ran out of adjustments? I would be a little worried if I get the shocks and find out I want to make them softer but ran out of adjustments and have to send back for another revalve.

This is the huge risk. Pretty much need to define your use case and scaled vehicle weight with a tuner and get them to valve and presdjust, hoping they have a goilover dyno.

This is wht we do with dirt bikes but its also a lot easier to access and swap susp also but still do it.

Go soft if you like SAS like ride or hard if you want to blast the desert. The adjustment is for fine tuning. For an everyday driver don't buy into the max performance tune. Popo rig is well setup but a lot of people would want something softer including myself.

This is 110% on point. You may have seen our original release thread where our initial V1 tuning was a bit stiffer than some wanted. Unlike other shock companies, we took user-feedback and made immediate changes to the valving to get the Fully Open Adjuster Settings to be as close to Stock SAS as possible.

Any softer on our standard Adventure Tune, and you would be softer than SAS, which would make for a very boaty, brake diving, and unsafe ride quality.

Customers like Popo want to use the vehicle harder, and use a lot more throttle input during on/off road driving, where the Dual Sport unlocks the Broncos potential at the expense of some road feel.
