It's pretty well established how SX suspension is way stiffer than outdoor. I never see any mention though of how rebound settings would differ.

My guess is there would be less rebound damping to provide more 'pop' off the jumps, but part of me thinks that may be counterproductive as you want to stay low off the jumps.

Also curious if the shock/fork would have different changes/setups.

Anyone have insight to how rebound settings are in SX?

Since they turn of the old Trax feature, i think rebound is pretty normal. Adapted to spring rate. Might be slower rebound since they run stiffer springs.

That just confirms they may want it universally "dead", since Trax is built to make it situationally less restrictive. It doesn't really state anything to the level of deadness they are running.

It seems like the whole SX chassis is often largely focused on the obstacle of the whoops at the expense of other setup, since whoops are so demanding.

Benefit with Trax, is that you can run a pretty slow rebound since you dont have to valve/adjust rebound for scenarios where wheel is of the ground and needs to get back quickly. You automatically have a very fast rebound on those items so you can have a slower rebound when the wheel is on the ground. That leads to better traction for example.

I love the Trax function. Pro that i know that have ridden with it, cant ride without it since the suspension will with just normal rebound, feel very dead. I agree on that.

So if they dont ride with Trax on, i think that is an indication of a pretty normal rebound. Otherwise, just turn trax on if you want it to act faster without the downside of overall fast rebound (poor traction for example).

Just a thought in general the above.
