I’m thinking of splurging some serious money on fancy suspension for the KTM 790R, because I’m worth it.

Any experiences with Tractive suspension (The XTREME forks and shock)? https://tractivesuspension.com/ktm-790-adventure-r-fork-cartridge-kit-x-treme.html

@rachel I haven't heard of them before, but are you sure you are on the right bike before upgrading it?
We were about to upgrade my wife's bike's suspension plus a custom seat before realizing she isn't completely happy with the power delivery of her twin. She doesn't like 4-cylinders (too peaky) so she'll try a triple before we decide on the upgrades...

@maxx pretty sure. Four/five countries in Africa seem to have demonstrated that.

@rachel What’s wrong with your current suspension?

@arnan the forks are heat at resisting bottoming out but don’t really control small bumps. So, they could do better with grip on trails.
The rear is mostly fine bit, to be honest, has had a hard life and a refresh there only helps
