Synopsis

In this episode, we discuss motorcycle suspension sag. Suspension sag refers to the amount a motorcycle's suspension compresses under certain conditions, such as the bike's weight alone or the combined weight of the bike and rider. It is a critical setting in motorcycle and vehicle suspension tuning, directly affecting handling, comfort, and stability.   Why Suspension Sag is Important: Handling: Proper sag ensures the suspension is in the optimal range of travel for absorbing bumps and maintaining traction. Comfort: Reduces harshness over bumps and prevents excessive bottoming or topping out of the suspension.
