First ride on my 21 GasGas 350 with the spring conversion. Vet B speed, mostly MX, but some XC.

I didn't mind the AER, but I could never get them as good and consistent as the KYB SSS on my old YZ 250. I already had a gold valve set up in the right leg, but was still searching, so tried adding the SCS to the left leg.

Install was pretty easy. The left fork gained three pounds, I wondered if I'd feel that, but I didn't.

The improvement was pretty dramatic. Far more front end traction entering and in corners, better in the chop, no more slap downs, and improved bottoming feel. Is this kit as good as 4500s? I don't know, but retaining the single side damping makes it pretty easy to swap setups between MX and XC with a cartridge change (I do this with a second cartridge and shock).

Two thumbs up from me.
