I would like to try a different suspension & tyre set up this year & am interested to hear your thoughts.

New Set Up .....as in different settings on your current suspension???


If you want a top notch set up you need to invest in a new suspension altogether. Thats might cost you £350-£500 for a seriously real good suspension. What year is your bike? If its pre-02 then you might need to convert to adjusters on the forks to be able to adjust the preload there and you will at least need a set of Hagon progressive springs or a better set up than that which will set you back another £80 plus.


You have to remember that your bike is a budget bike with budget suspension and will have its limitations.

Agreed.


A common misconception is that you make everything as hard as possible to get sporty handling. In actuality you try to get the suspension as soft you can for the pace you're riding at. You need the compliance to keep the bike stable. The only real way to improve things on what is essentially a budget bike is to throw money at improved, fully adjustable suspension front and rear. Or buy a more sporty bike!
