Yes, big difference.

To deal with city streets with speed-bumps and pot-holes, you'll want to use softer springs and dampers. On track, you'll want stiffer springs and dampers because cornering-forces will fully compress suspension. Hitting bump mid-corner with compressed suspension will cause crash for sure.

In both cases, you want suspension set up so that you'll use up all suspension-travel for range of bumps you'll encounter during use. That's why zip-tie is important to gather data on whether you're already using up all suspension travel. If not, we can install softer springs and lighter fork-oil to absorb bumps & potholes better.

How much do you weigh?
