Owners with semi-active suspension: did a professional setup still make a noticeable difference, and what can actually be adjusted mechanically?

    Yes. Spring preload and geometry still need to match the rider; electronics cannot correct a poor mechanical baseline.

    Ride your own pace.

    The shop documented sag, fork position, tire pressure, and mode settings. That made later changes understandable instead of random.

    Use one familiar mode while evaluating. Switching modes and roads together makes it hard to learn anything.
