My experience:
My weight: 88 kg, damping front and rear completely in (max.), but still isn't enough for real hard cornering. Try some Hyperpro's too :wink:
My tire pressure was 2 bar, front and rear.

Have much fun!!! :-D

I'd set front sag at 30mm and rear sag at 25mm. Damping settings are trickier, but I'd start at the factory "hard" settings, from the owner's manual.
