Rear bottoming out on whoops- viper/cat m7000 153

[88kawi]

I have a m7000 with all air shocks and stuff, maybe the front skid shock has a coil, do i need additional compression valving or higher air pressures in the front and/or rear skid shock to stop bottoming out on bad trail whoops? I don't want to bend or break anything. I'm about 200 geared up with helmet etc.

The front setup (qrs3 i think) absolutely eats up the terrain and gives me zero problems.

if you have two chamber air shocks there is a lot to work with. I would increase the high pressure chamber pressure and see how it does. use the low pressure side to set ride height/sag. the double chamber shocks are infinitely adjustable.

Thanks, that second page looks useful.

I guess I really need to get a gopro under the skid and romp on some trails to see what happens on the travel.
