Soft if on a surface that will allow tire spin(or softer, not to allow tire spin).....and hard if on a surface that doesn't allow tire spin, thus allowing the power to go strait to the tires.

 

i did my testing on pavement, hence my outcomes..so are you saying for dirt, grass, etc. use soft, but for pavement use hard?

 

yes i believe that what he is saying and that is what i have found also.

 

I agree with what DGScrambler400 said earlier.

 

why doesn't someone test it between hard or soft to see which is better

 

allready have, I just don't like arguing...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Soft will work better on a low traction surface such as dirt the rear shock will soak up some of the initial power hit thus reducing wheel spin as opposed to a stiff shock which will create more wheel spin. On a high traction surface such as pavement and in sand if you have paddles stiff works better for wheelies since there is not as much wheel spin and the shock wont compress as much before the front end lifts.
