Description
Rich headed to BikePark Wales to see what happens when you throw every damping trick at one enduro bike. From tuned mass dampers and tyre inserts to extra frame ballast, we compared our fully damped rig against a stock setup using onboard sensors and timed runs to see how all that extra tech changes the ride.
