I already posted this in some other thread. If you're up against a rider with nearly equal skill but you can't get by them, out steer them. No fancy mods needed, higher entry speed + earlier roll on = imma pass you, it's just a matter of time and where.

OK, I'm hopelessly slow so maybe I'm just one of those guys™, but here's my take on this: A significant amount of my corner confidence comes from a bike that is stable while cornering. And that's why one of my first priorities on my bike was to put on as good suspension as I could afford. Are there people who can ride faster than me on stock suspension? Yes. Is good suspension making me more confident, faster and letting me have more fun? Yes for that too!
