Your experience is quite different from mine. My shock performs wonderfully on and offroad with my 6'2" 260lb frame. It's not bouncy at all on the highway and I have the rebound damping set 3 clicks from firm. Due to it's reduced travel (the 290mm) I can get it to bottom out offroad but you have to work at it. There's a little bridge down from my house that I jump in 4th gear, and 90% off the time the rear suspension soaks up the landing without bottoming.
