Hey guzz , the cup bike may be a archive / promo pic , i would bet if u looked at the bikes on the start grid you would see the front fork tubes in many different positions to suite each rider .
Im the same as u where i like to feel the bike planted at the front . My riding position and bike set up throws a lot of weight over the front anyway so thats probably why i needed to raise the front , if we both positioned ourselves on the same bike the front and rear would probably weigh different . Then factor in set up of our different bikes and the figure would be different again . I realy am on top of my bars as everyone comments on how agressivly i push and work the front . If i didnt raise the bike at the front id have no weight on the back and be all over the place .
So many variables between riders and bike use . By contrast my road bike is shockingly firm but i like it that way . I would never ride my road bike on the track with its current settings .
