Hi Everyone!
had my bike for a few years and now doing some jumps in the 10-18 foot gap and 3-6 ft drop range. The Ohlins rear shock does pretty good for normal trail riding but when I am doing jumps and slightly miss my target and end up hitting my bottom bracket on the ground several times a week. It's hitting so hard that I almost come off my bike once in a while. I have done the same jumps on my Santa Cruz nomad and the Rock Shox ultimate coil was buttery smooth if I landed or cased anything. All shock settings are dialled in for my weight - sag at 25% rebound and compression set up. As I mentioned the little stuff like roots and 1-foot drops are great, just anything bigger and the shock feels terrible and literally I go through all the travel and bottom out as my feet and shins hurt on a few hits a week.
I am running the right spring rate at 600 lbs with me being 211 lbs. It just seems like this shock is not doing what it's supposed to do. Any recommendations on rear shocks that will fit? The Trunium is an annoying factor coupled with the odd sizing of the shock limit options. I debated going to a heavier spring but was not confident that would solve the issue.
I read several posts and threads on Levo but the sizing was not the same and then there are all kinds of 2020+ gen Kenevo's.
Any help would be appreciated.
