2023+ models with evolved toolless rear shock lower the suspension up to 27 mm. It does not fit with the 38 mm insert. The kit includes the 38 mm insert to give access to the 4.5 mm lowering, which is compatible.
Hey Ruston, the change to ground clearance is a one-to-one ratio to the lowered height. So the lowest height setting at 38 mm would reduce your ground clearance by 38 mm while that does sound like a lot as an avid dirtbike rider of the last 22 years (class racer), the reduced ground clearance is not that noticeable, but of course, high speeds with lots of cornering and boulders or roots it will result in, a few more peg strikes. I have found the benefits from the lowered bike too far exceed the few peg strikes. Ultimately, the lower height allows me to accomplish substantially more technical, terrain, and hard enduro maneuvers. And I find that even at high speeds, the lowered position gives me better cornering as my center gravity is lowered.
@@rustansouza8378 Total ground clearance can vary widely depending on tire tread, tire pressure, suspension sag, rider weight, etc. But you can easily figure it out by figuring out your current clearance then subtracting amount you've lowered it. For the 2023 and newer the max lowering is 27mm (1 inch) and for the older models 38mm (1.5 inch).
It doesn’t “throw off” the handling in the sense that it doesn’t make the handling “worse.” But it does alter the dynamics of how the bike rides, you can always adjust the front to maintain the dynamics that your bike has before lowering the rear. At 15:40 we go over the basics. There’s a lot of adjustments you can make to your suspension and it’s worth spending just a bit of time to understand how it alters the ride. Lots of great tutorials out there!

how much ground clearance is lost at the lowest height settings?

Thanks for the great installation video! You have save me so much time and helped me reduce the amount of installation errors.
Great to hear! That's what we aim for
Would this throw off the handling

@@AltRiderLLC Ok thank you
