If it rises too fast, then there's not enough low-speed REBOUND damping.
You can barely push the suspension up and down sitting there (and the front preload is only 1 turn from full soft out of like 20 or something turns).

It has high and low speed compression damping (but only the typical high speed is adjustable). This is what he told me...who am I to argue since he is one of the best suspension gurus in socal.

I explained to him that under 80 or so the suspension feels real good, but over that, the bike cannot compensate for bumps fast enough and it feels stiff / like its not feeling the road as good as it should. He told me that is as good as it gets because the front end is just too stiff. And fuck it is stiff.
