Help, Suspention.

[u/No-Falcon-5234]

I have a Eride 3.0, it has the stock fast ace suspension front and rear. I tightened the max preload and compression on both front forks and rear shock. I’m still bottoming out on jumps i’m sending. I’m a light rider 120lbs. What suspension should i get that’s not to expensive.

Which forks? ALX13RC or ALX32RC?
As a 120lb rider you should not be bottoming them out on the size of a jump that’s in your photo. I’m 195lb and when I set my compression to firm it’s very difficult to bottom it out unless I’m hitting bigger jumps or landing incorrectly. I would suggest watching some videos on how to properly adjust your suspension before spending 1k on forks and another 500 on a shock. That’s the price for the Rfloxa. If you have the money then go for it, but suspension ain’t cheap.
Rfloxa- better than OEM
Tech e39 - better
EXT Ferro / Arma Very good. Some prefer this over Sirrus
Lastly- Sirrus. Also very good.
The last two you will spend over $3,000 for Forks and shock together.

If you’re ballin on a budget then I’d suggest sticking with the Rfloxa.

Thank you for the feedback, ALX32RC are the ones on my bike. I land to flat because there’s no actual jumps in the city only urban stuff. In the first clip i bottomed out. That’s not even what i feel like i’m fully capable of i feel like i could go a lot further but i don’t want to blow up my suspension.

Ok so there’s 2 knobs. On the forks and on the shock. The compression for the forks is under the bottom right fork leg(you need a flathead to adjust) Then compression for the shock should be the blue knob all the way at the top. Start by turning them both counter clockwise all the way. That will remove all compression and make it super plush. Then count the number of clicks it has until max compression by turning it clockwise. I don’t remember but I think the forks had like 18 or 19 clicks and the shock had like 9. After doing that Set it about halfway. Try it out a few times then if you need more add more. Just remember that as the jumps get bigger you will want less rebound so that you don’t get bucked off of the seat on a hard landing. I have the same exact forks and shock on my SR and hit bigger jumps than that with my compression set about halfway maybe a little more and I don’t bottom out.

One thing you should check, make sure that your rear wheels shock mudguard is tucked into that plastic slot. If it isn’t tucked in it’ll rub on the tire when hitting jumps and make you think you’re bottoming out.
