Baja...1700 Miles
Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at 7:59PM Baja suspension matters......SBB Suspension works!
Having just returned from a 16 day riding trip to Baja, I thought I should share a bit of info with the MX43.com readers.
There were a few different brands of bikes on this nearly 3-week exploration ride. There was a Honda, a couple of Beta’s, a Husqvarna and about 5 KTM’s. I have ridden a few bikes (brands, year models and categories) in my day. Also, having had the opportunity to work with Bucky at SBB suspension has exposed me to a lot of shortcomings on these same bikes.
I rode for 16 days straight and accumulated a little over 1700 miles on my SBB suspended KTM 500 XCW. During that time, I was asked to ride a few other bikes to compare and evaluate. What an eye opener! I knew my bike worked well but after riding the other bikes on the trip I was all smiles!
Each rider that traded me bikes commented on how well my bike was set up and how well it worked. It allowed them to see the shortcomings of their bike setup and they began asking questions on how to make their bike work better. The answer was simple, send your suspension to Bucky at SBB!
Since some of them already had suspension work done by other companies I had to resist smacking them upside the helmet and handing them Bucky’s card. Instead we talked about setup, compression, rebound and spring choices. It was a learning experience for all of us. I learned I was happier with my suspension than I even realized!
I think I will go out for a ride then come back and try to wipe this grin off my face.
