[QUOTE="Jeremy Wilkey, post: 162047, member: 17220"] As a suspension builder, or OEM manufacturer you have a wide range of responsibilities towards customers. Beside the basics as quality in construction, and customer support what design considerations are most important. -Should suspension be built for time? In other words does ride quality have less importance than pure speed through a section? -Conversely does ride comfort mean more than shear performance? -Does trickness matter? Is the coolest looking and highest tech gadgetry worth its weight in confidence factor? In other words is it worth suffering a slightly poorer set-up in hopes of a long term significant improvement? Or intimidating your competitors with your technical might. -Economics, when buying a bike or purchasing suspension does the cost of the modifications determine how make your decision? Would one rather buy a bike with a lower price if the suspension was efficient, yet not awesome? Would you buy suspension mods that are less costly, produce modest improvements, but won't be the best? Obviously as a consumer your perspective is very different than mine, and likewise all riders are different. Please from your standpoint as a rider what do you think? I think backgrounds and age will pay a big factor in this decision. I also try to think about this from a team managers perspective, or maybe even as a factory rider looking for a new advantage. It gets very interesting as you think about all the consequences. Spend your budget, risk injury, gain advantage.. [/QUOTE]
