This is an area for me where suspension and brand bike specs have gotten worse over the last 10 years or more. Things used to be more adjustable on more builds in the range.
Now everyone has their tuned components specifically for their brand/frame and minimal adjustment or adjustment range on anything but top of the line and then not always. Which all do not work for 90kg plus riders over 6" on rocky techy terrain.
It's now 'easy' to spend $12k+ on a bike where I'd need to then upgrade dampers so the suspension works for me.
