Suspension movement. Sag.

Post by hvpunk62 »

I think a good thing to add to this game would be (Sag) So when the rider leans foward and is standing,dab. the bike is as if there is no weight on it almost, and when you lean back and put weight on it the suspension goes down 4 inches as it would in real life. Just throwing it out there It just came to mine when i was adjusting my bikes suspension today.

Great idea. because it helps a ton when you are going up a hill to lean back and get more traction.. When you lean back the suspension lower in the rear like this:

In the picture the forks are clearly more extended than the rear shock.

If your suspension is going down 4 inches when you lean back, you have atleast one of the follow problems:

1. Your rear spring is too soft
2. You are too heavy for your spring
3. Both

In all seriousness, "sag" is just a function of your preload setting and the spring stiffness. You can already adjust those in the game.

You know what I mean when the bike is sitting still with no weight on it, then you sit on it, It goes 4 inches down.

You can measure sag in game, measure it when in the air and when sitting static on the bike....you'll see :)
