What a world of difference
Smooth and nimble on the road and still very good in the back roads (goat trails and fire roads) at faster speeds
Good for you. For any motorcycle it's very important to set the proper race sag for the shock absorber by adjusting the spring preload. The adjustment is particularly important to achieve the best performance from the RX3 shock absorber.

As you ride over different surfaces, you can easily experiment with the click settings for rebound damping available on both the shock absorber and the forks.
