The above recommendations should act as a guide only. Suspension setup is highly individual, and even terminology — like a feeling of "poppy" — can be subjective. Two different riders may describe the same suspension in completely different terms. Ultimately, the best setup for YOU requires understanding your suspension's functions and experimenting to find the right balance. There is no perfect setting for every terrain or condition, but you can achieve a well-rounded setup that delivers 99% of the performance, 99% of the time. Chasing the final 1% often leads to compromising what already works well.
