But there is no less than a dozen aftermarket companies that are better, from Progressive to Ohlins…and plenty in between.

As far as front…. Lots of good options as well. As soon as you improve the rear ride, you’ll note how bad the front is.
I’m not even sure the premium’s are that much better than the air shocks, maybe a little. Put Bitubo adjustables on (I think around $600) and now I’m trying to decide what to do with the front. Like dajogejr said, really shows you how bad the forks are.
