corex Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 My Gas Gas 280 felt like it was going to snap in half on any jump higher than about 7 or 8 feet, even with a nice tranny. I was told if I sprung it any stiffer it would really suffer on the climbs. I like the mtb trails and natural cliffs and even kickers on the trials bike. I want the bike to feel ok off a 10 or 15 footer, nothing huge but just regular mtb drops. What are you guys doing who are into jumps? Are the guys in Out of Section just using different bikes for each different style of riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoman2k8 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 My guess is there running a more refined shock, like the Ohlins? Possibly a progressive spring, so the harder you bounce, the stiffer the sus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
