Does this lift the bike? I'm more trying to get a softer ride. We just got back from Windrock this past weekend and rode about 175mi. 50 the last night we were there. This thing beats me to death. I'm not as young as I once was.
It does lift a little but it seems like as soon as you sit down on the bike, all the lift comes out. Since it changes the angles on the shocks, it makes them easier to compress. This means a softer ride and most, if not all of the lift will be gone while sitting down. It does make the bike easier to steer. I just went on the first ride in 4 months due to an ATV accident in which I crushed a vertabrae in my back. We rode 65 miles on Sunday in some of the nastiest terrain the is to ride in. Mountains, rivers with giant round river bed rocks, mud, extreme rock and dirt, etc. My back held up really well. It would usually hurt me for two days after a ride like this before the Perfex. Not even a pain this time.
Hope this helps you.
BTW I don't know how old you are. I am 29 this month and I would like to think I could hold out longer than a 50 year old on trails.
