My point exactly: the Nivomat line offers no improvement on pavement seam and you still need a chiropractor or a dentist afterward. It can be unsettling when riding at night as I cannot always gauge how nasty a pavement seam it can be. On regular road, the damping is indeed better but that's not...

THE +20 Wilbers might be the way to go. I had the Nivomat installed but the improvement is marginal compared to the hefty price.

After 500 miles with the Wilbers Nivomat installed, I can report that there is a noticeable improvement but there is only so much one can do with 4" rear suspension travel. Damping is much better especially on regular/worn road surface, but typical US highway pavement transition or pot holes can...
