Reading a shock dyno sheet can be both intimidating and rewarding to those with an understanding of the data it provides. On the surface, one might think that simply reading off the numbers is enough but in reality there’s more to it than just looking at single values. To get a full picture of what you are seeing on your shock dyno sheet, you need to know how each value is calculated and why they matter when diagnosing shocks. The most important part of any dyno report is its baseline or starting point – this gives us an idea of what kind of performance we should expect from our shocks before making adjustments. From here we can look for changes in damping force over time, as well as other metrics such as friction level, rebound rate, and energy loss. By comparing these values against their expected range for the type of terrain being tested on (e.g., track vs street), we will have a better understanding if our shocks are adequately prepared for whatever conditions they may encounter. Additionally, looking at average peak velocity over multiple runs helps us determine whether or not our suspension system is performing optimally and delivering consistent results during hard turns or high-speed events where every ounce counts! Finally, by analyzing compression ratios between different wheel positions while measuring linearity across all points on the graph helps ensure proper tuning accuracy - so never forget about paying close attention to details like these when trying to understand what exactly your shock dyno sheet says!
