Rider vertical damping multiplier

Post by Shadow »

Simply this, a button that while being pressed multiplies the rider vertical damping, to mimic the rider tensing up for soaking big landings/coming up short.
Thought of it 'cause I like to keep the vertical damping fairly low as it helps tremendously while riding rough tracks but it has the big drawback that it makes the rider very susceptible to fall off the bike in harsher landings, that would be rideable with bigger vertical damping.

Just a simple say, 1-8 x multiplier slider with say 0.1 increments and limit the maximum possible damping to 100.

I want a "super scrub whipper" button too. :lol:

Where it drops the steering and roll dampening to 20 as long as you hold the button. Or whatever you set it to.

And the brakes full on while leaning back. You can pretty much save any crazy hard landing by doing that.
