General Suspension on the EX

Well, the KTM/WP comp adjuster which I assume you have plenty of riding experience with didn't change (except for the valving) way longer than that. The KYB triple HSC adjuster is not all bad, it is actually a true high speed only adjuster while the WP and KYB dual adjusters influence much lower shaft speeds as well. This can be good and bad depending on the whole package.

Are you speaking of the traxx shock? No experience with that one. I wouldn't say it's all bad but for me it wasn't all good either.

No, with "dual" I mean two adjustments (LSC, HSC) on one adjuster body vs the triple (LSC, HSC, LSR) KYB. The WP Traxx or now SuperTrax/Pro shocks double single adjusters are identical in function to the single dual adjusters of the stock WP shock. Confused now

Yes but I don't pay much attention to the stock KTM shock. Fades in 20 min anyway at least on the PDS.

It seems there is a worldwide shortage of 56N/mm shock springs.
Stark doesn't have it right now either.

Will 58N/mm be too stiff for 72kg+13kg=85kg rider and gear?
Low-ish average speed ≈20km/h, never higher than 60km/h. Hardpack, rocky hills.

I'm looking at this and this spring rates for the Varg MX, but with a bit of squint one can read them to say whatever one wants.

S-Tech makes good stuff, I use their springs as well: Shock absorber spring 64/66-260, 56 N/mm, 98,00 €

The sould ship to MNE, do they?

Thank you very much for the tip.
Ordered a 56 from an excellent gentleman at MX-Special-Parts Onlineshop für MX Motocross Enduro Sport
