What Rear shock air pressure on a '20+?

What air pressure are you running in the rear shock of your '20+ RT

50-55. 60-65 if I'm riding with passenger.

Thanks

There is a label under the seat giving rider/passenger weights and the corresponding air pressure range to use.

I run 55-60 without passenger. Up it to 70-75 with passenger

I have a 2018 not a 2020 but I have found the recommended air pressures from BRP to be on the low side. My 'stated' pressure should be 45 lbs, I have been running 50. Recently bumped it up to around 80. HUGE improvement in ride quality! Experiment. Your pressure may be dictated slightly by your riding style.

And from your avatar picture, what you have hanging over the back of the bike would make a big difference also!!!

Mikey, That tree I made is only on when we take the bikes to trailheads (about 15% of the time). I do feel a slight difference from just 2-up but those bikes only weigh 21 lbs each (plus the weight of the rack). The majority of my seat time is with the 2 of us with no bikes or rack. I weigh 150 and she weighs 110. I am pretty conservative when the bikes are on so I don't hardly notice them, plus I built a stabilizing turnbuckle linkage that attaches to the rear axle. The stabilizer of course, wouldn't affect the air pressure, just my riding style.
