Well i am 280 at least with all my gear on, being 6 foot 4 helps. all my settings are on max.

The average rider weight that suspensions are set to is 160, this includes motocross, road bikes and 4 wheelers. This may have changed in the last 2 yrs, but 160 has been the baseline for a long time.

I remember reading 175lbs somewhere just recent while doing research on set ups. But im not sure about the rest of you but i havent weighed 175 let alone 160 since i cant remember. Do what bob says and follow BTV's su. CCC
