Never fails to amaze me, I have an ex World Cup 4x rider mate whom we built a bike up for, he took it out with no set up at all, ( in fact probably no idea how to set it up) and proceeded to spank most folks time on the trails, jumps, corners, off camber sections, in fact anywhere… which has proved to me that it is the rider and no matter how many dials, tweaks, fancy damping you can buy, someone on a hugely badly set up bike will make you wish you had taken up golf!!
But, yes, for everyone else, the perceived or actual benefits are out there to be purchased.
