DDC forks soft vs hard

[SwiftTone]

When I switch the suspension from DDC soft to hard, I do not feel the difference in the forks when I bounce the front end. There is a major difference in the rear though.

Can you guys notice a difference when you do the same?

Soft setting on mine is terrible in the corners. The rebound at the rear is bad and feels like it wants buck you off in the corners. Front feels ok though.

I just leave mine in normal as it feels right front and rear. Hard on the rear is not comfortable but fine on the front. Go figure?

I only have Road and Dynamic. I definitely notice a different in rebound (compression also but to lesser extent) when riding over bumps and undulations front and rear.

Picked up great advice on this forum - compromised on pre-load so that DDC still seemed responsive - run in dynamic and ‘normal’ suspension. In loose or damp run in rain (‘soft’ in poor conditions, ‘normal’ in just damp). Even tatoring it (on the road) I’ve not gone for the  ‘hard’ option - seems to give good response - not a light rider but just half a dozen turns on front preload and 4 or 5 on the back - tried cranking it all up but didn’t like the response/ride

Had my 17 from new for 9 months before I set the static sag (or at least as best as the adjustment range would let me; read from that I'm not jockey sized). It transformed the handling, making front and rear work together instead of against each other. Give it a go, bet you notice a difference

I'd be curious to see a table of people's weights and preload settings front/rear for DDC bikes (5 turns from max, etc)...  might help others set their bikes up.
