Suspension upgrades for trails vs MX

What suspension upgrades have made the biggest difference for you? Do you tune your suspension differently for trails compared to motocross tracks?

Switching to stiffer fork springs and adjusting the rear shock really changed the game, much less bottoming out now. I also loosen things up a bit for the trails to keep that comfortable feel, but then I tighten the rebound and compression settings for motocross, which helps with jumps and whoops.

That’s a solid setup. I’d suggest that upgrading to a high-flow piston kit or revalving the forks can make a noticeable difference in damping control. And don’t forget about sag adjustment, it’s crucial for maintaining the right geometry when you’re tackling different types of terrain.
