However, when the pace picks up the feeling of control is lost. After hitting bumps at speed, the front tire tends to chatter or bounce. Getting aggressive with the controls makes it worse. As speed increases and steering inputs become more aggressive, chassis attitude and pitch become a real problem, with the front traction feedback going numb after the bike is countersteered hard into a turn. The ride is quite harsh - just the opposite of the plush feet of too little rebound.
Rough pavement makes the forks feel as if they're locking up with stiction and harshness.
The tire feels as if it isn't staying in contact with the pavement when on the gas. The harsh, unforgiving ride makes the bike hard to control when riding through dips and rolling bumps at speed. The suspension's reluctance to maintain tire traction through these sections erodes rider confidence. Hitting bumps at speed causes the rear to bottom, which upsets the chassis. Ride is harsh, though not quite as bad as too much rebound - however, the faster you go the worse it gets.
