Shock Oil

Effects:

• Lighter: Faster front response, better small-bump compliance, less stability on big jumps
• Heavier: Slower front response, more stability over jumps, reduced traction in small bumps

Effects:

• Heavier: Slower rear response, more stability on jumps, reduced rotation in corners
• Lighter: Faster rear response, increased rotation in corners, less stability over jumps
