He likes his initial [travel] to be firm , but much more plush than stock. He also likes the ride to stay up in the stroke, but set up 's o that it can dive into the corners, without feeling wallowy. As far as the motor, he likes it to be ported so that it revs more on the top end, and [for) the powerband to be nice and smooth so that it accelerates faster and won't weal [him] out." eN cuclo n 0 vv S • JULY 11. 2 0 0 1 101
