I had my first track event on the SP a couple of days ago, and man what a blast! This bike is friggin awesome! So quick steering and also stable mid corner. I was very impressed with how it performed, though I did not push too hard given it was my first event of the year. Naturally there is a learning curve with a new bike, but I felt very comfortable on it straight away.
Since I'm still getting to know the bike I had the suspension set to dynamic mode, and felt it worked well for the pace I was running, which was a little bit slower than usual. I'm 100+ kg, so I had to add some compression damping, or brake support as it is referred to in the setup menu. Felt the rear get a bit loose under heavy braking but the forks didn't bottom out. Will probably get new springs when I've gotten more acquainted with the bike and get faster.
One thing I need to adress is the pegs. I have big feet and felt the standard DP Rizoma pegs were too short, and I didn't feel confident with my outside foot position and grip when hanging off. Anyone know if it's possible to get longer pegs that fit these rearsets? Would also prefer a fixed peg instead of folding ones.
