What did I choose for me first ever post? Asking whether it's really progressive when the drawing says something else? Moreover, my name doesn't say "suspensionlab" claiming 15 years of experience without being able to tell from a textbook example of a shim stack what kind it is 😅 I'm just a rider. If it was a multi-stage, complex SS...

In this case, you probably aren't experienced enough, if you can't tell from a simple shimstack such as above whether it's linear, progress or digressive lol.

Comparing regular Float with Float Genie the internals (piston primarily) is the exactly same. I mean even Specialized (the RX team) in their videos mention that there isn't many differences. The outer sleeve/chamber and related seals are the only one. This is the rebound shimstack which is fully custom. I don't see anything progressive about this single stage SS. If...

Yep, the e-tuned Genie is using CL+SS and CPR (rebound tune by Specialized), but that is expected since it's an e-bike. Many manufactures do the same. In other cases we are talking about the same bike, so to me at least, it is surprising they make them feel different.

Thanks for the explanation. I don't doubt they are tuned differently. Float specifically uses a custom shimstacks from/by Specialized. Similiar about Float X Genie from Levo (e-tuned), but Float X Genie from SJ25 is a different case. It seems to be using regular Fox's shimstack. Internals don't seem to differ either, so my assumption is that if you have dyno...

Well, he talked specifically about rebound tune, not some secondary variables, which I doubt exist here. RL70 is literally a "Rebound Linear". It would make zero sense if they offer these on the scale from 10 to 70 or whatever, but you end up getting progressive dumping rate anyway. Of course, feel free to post the damping rate of the...

Actually, I'm starting to doubt you are right about the rebound tune. Looking at the drawing of the shimstack, nothing looks progressive about it. It's not a splitstack. It's a standard linear shimstack. Furthermore, if you look at the Float X Genie used by SJ15 it uses RL70 which is also a linear rebound, so no idea where you got...

So SSR01 is a progressive tune? Light rebound? How about SSC003? I have changed shocks on my SJ15 from Fox Float Genie to Float X Genie, but the latter one came from Levo and I feel that it is not as good as the previous one was. For whatever reason it feels firmer even though it should be lighter considering...
