Got my money back in full today, even the shipping.
Great suspension for off-road and woods riders, but for motocross I would look somewhere else.

I missed this report prior to now. Although it sucks it didnt workout, them reimbursing every dime to you is still good customer service. Cant wait for your N2D ride report.

My new N2Dirt suspension is already done and will be shipped to me tomorrow! A 3-day turnaround, I haven't heard about this before, WOW!

My EXR suspension is really bad on track day and I was looking forward to Kreft's Xplor Revalve kit for the advertised adjustability. If you have another minute, I'd love to hear why you didn't think the kreft was suitable for tracks.

Woods and trails is what Kreft does best. They do revalve motocross bikes too, but they probably just match the dyno curves to some good known suspensions. I suspect they do not have any skilled MX riders to test for them, so when a curveball like a nose-heavy electric Redshift comes their way they have to rely on their own MX riding and evaluation skills and on the dyno data.
In my case they didn't guess it twice. The Revalve Control does work as advertised, increasing the adjustability range, but something else in the suspension was way off. It was bottoming worse than stock, both front and rear. I did ship it for another revalve to them and it was still bottoming on all but the tiniest flat landings.
I worked with Kreft on their 4CS development back in 2015. Performed 22 revalves of the fork, all by myself, Adam was directing me and giving me shim stack recommendations. I did the revalves and tuned the clickers. It came out pretty good in the end, but I lost half a year of satisfying riding. Also, I hurt my wrists and knees while testing. I do not want to go through this again.

I don't blame you... Thanks for the feedback! I'm located fairly close to these guys and your notes will help guide my introductory questions with them. I ride 75% woods and trails so they still interest me.
I am still running stock suspension. At this point I have 5 months of winter to get it done. I might go for the SSS conversion instead. With the recent bad news idk what or if I am going to do with my suspension.
Phillip, what class speed do you have on a motocross track? The Kreft stuff is expensive and the adjustment sounds great, but I am a 99% mx track rider.

On a familiar track I have won the B-class a few times. On a new track I would be a podium C. I do not learn new tracks quickly.

Funny you should type this. Well, not actually.
I find it takes me a very long time to learn a track. Sucks getting old.
