First off road baseline

Well we finally got the chance to take the bikes offroad on some easy fire tracks, we did not alter any of the suspension setting or the tyre pressures (approx 28 psi) this gave us a good baseline to start with.
The verdict; The rear suspension was very hard and lossing traction quite easily, the front suspension also seemed quite harsh. JC also found the forks bottomed out on some of the rougher tracks. The bike felt quite good otherwise in terms of balance although standing is required on loose surfaces such as heavy blue metal logging roads.
