Nice review. I like her attitude, if it’s the bike you got you make do. Overall positive review.

The Ohlins rear suspension is fully adjustable, to a point. The preload only has three settings, solo, 2-up, and track. So for a lighter rider the solo may be too stiff, click it up a notch and it's way too stiff and one more and it's now a hardtail. I find for my bulk the setting for two-up is best for normal riding. The real downer is that you can't dial in static sag like you are able to with threaded collar and tube type shocks. Here's a good video on how to adjust the Thrux's suspension.
