Thank you all very much. I've learned a lot.
- 2021 NC750 X may or may not have DBV forks that manage the compression (smooth the ride) by responding to the pressures or stress that is presented. (Honda did acknowledge the receipt of my email and promised a response)
- DBV suspensions can respond better through more accurate metering of oil flow based on hydraulic pressures presented
- HondaProKevin responded to my question and said DBVS are being included in the USA version (messenger only, cannot confirm as fact)
- On rough roads, longer travel suspension may perform better than shorter travel suspension for shock absorption (with caveats)
- Longer travel suspension may present issues for [tame tarmac riders like me who never venture beyond a gravel parking lot] such as wallowing in curves or turns
- Either the 4.9 or 5.9 suspension will likely be adequate for riders like me
- Consensus is that longer is probably better (perhaps more versatile and comfortable), but each with their own set of issues
- Even though it may feel like you are bottoming on a modern Honda suspension, odds are you are not
- Consensus is that longer is probably better (perhaps more versatile and comfortable), but each with their own set of issues
- Suspension upgrades will cost about ~$1k, front and rear (emulators and shock) DIY
