Good point. I’ve also been riding the previous generation Zeb Ultimate for reference and the difference is noticeable there as well. Not in every small bump situation but during higher speed, high frequency bumps it is quite clear. And you are also correct that the gap between the previous Ultimate/Select exists but the MY23 Ultimate with Buttercups has an extra level that “quiets” the trail both audibly and in terms of damping high frequency vibration.
