no offense to konajason, but i think this pic is better cause of the kind of drop it is. This one seems bigger and the suspension is working at its full on it, but in the other pic, the drop is a little thing, and it looks like if the tires were flat fom before the landing and the suspension settings are really bad. This pic looks more real in that sense.....anyone could think that you had hose settings to look like it is a big drop, but it isn“t.
great pic hobbnobs

The new Giant 4X Prototype. This year they decided to incorperate a 12mm BB height for added stability and run Fox's new 15mm dual crown forks for stiffness and pedalling efficiency.

If its a race bike theres nothing wrong with the suspension being set up soft. Its designed to be plush/bottom out easliy so that its smoother over rocks and stutter bumps etc....
