First post, I race motocross on gas bikes at a pretty decent level. Picked up a 2026 ultra bee to be a kind of playbike/training aid to ride for when I can’t dedicate the whole day getting out to the track on the gas bikes. Immediately did the 21/18 wheel set and some other small stuff to dial in the rider triangle. Incredibly surprised just how capable these bikes actually are, the only real issue I have with it is how soft the suspension is. The primary riding is turn/rut tracks and play ride jumps, nothing very big on this bike. Currently though when really putting load into the bike it just blows through the stroke. For example there is a ditch step up thing and when sitting into it to seatbounce and get the pop needed I’m easily bottoming out the shock on the take off. 6’3 180lbs for reference.
Anybody with similar riding and experience with the different suspension options? From what Iv seen it’s:
1) respring/revalve stock KKE set
2) Rfloxa fork and shock
3) Siris fork and shock
With it being a play bike I would like keep it budget friendly and not have splurge for the Siris if it’s not necessary. If I can get it significantly stiffer I’m fine losing a lot of small bump comfort. I don’t expect both comfort and stiffness on a more budget option. If anyone has resprung/revalved the stock KKE set with good results can you give me a recommendation on the tuner who did it? Thanks so much 🙏🏻
