Nevada......We've had a Freestyle event here near Daytona the last 2 years. I went to the one last year as a friend of mine loaned his bike to 1 of the riders. While hanging in the pits I got the chance to feel most of the riders suspensions as I was wondering the same as you. I had my own theorys but was amazed at how completly different they all felt. Mike Jones, Clifford Adaptonte (sp), Tommy Clowers and several others I can't remember were there. I felt 1 bike that had super stiff forks and about 3" free sag & soft shock. 1 had no free sag in shock with super STIFF comp. & real SLOW rebound. Several others had different combo's of all of the above.
So just like moto-x everyone has their own feel on what they want.
