Leverage rate update – You can see that we have removed the regressive beginning stroke this helps with small bump compliance and plush feel, the remaining stroke has a consistently progressive rate, this can be seen in the forces graph.

Note: Dominer DH Metric = 2019
Dominer DH = 2018

Anti-squat update – This has been reduced to work alongside the new supportive leverage rate to give better bump compliance without pedal dive/squat
Anti rise update – We have increased this percentage to help with balanced feel when braking into corners.
