I have definitely decided on the Lucky cartidges for my 2022 KTM 500 EXCF, but my greatest challenge are simple washboards on the dirt roads I ride between trails. At 63, my lower back ain't what it used to be. If I do not stand the entire time, my back takes a pounding on washboards. I am wondering if the National shock in the rear might help this, or just a simple re-valving of my stock WP?

MX Tech makes some of the best suspension components on the planet, their fork cartridge upgrades are excellent and transform your suspension to a whole nother level.

Thanks for this comparison video Jeff but you and I both know there is no comparison. After revalving my stock shock more than once and yes it was a little better in the low speed stuff I tried the National ( thanks to Alec) with your Mule valving. My bike has a very long list of upgrades and improvements but the single biggest and best one was the National Shock I bought from you. IMO you really can't get there without it especially on the PDS bike. One more reason why I say "Thanks Jeff" for making our sport a better place.

@@slaverace1 Plan on being around Mancos in June. Hope to have your Lucky and National on my 2022 KTM500 EXC-F before then. Glad I found all this before investing on Gold valve setup, although I know they are great also, this is a much cleaner approach IMO.

The real comparison would be the national vs xplor pro supertrax shock, could you do that as well?

Hello: We've tested the Xplor Pro because it is available for us to sell, but we try to sell the best of the best. It is a good shock but the set-up is aimed at pro riders and that makes it too stiff for most off-road riders and applications.
