If you like to ride fast trails, race or are just a recreational rider having a steering damper will make you a better and safer rider. There have been multiple instanced when on the track and I have landed a table top jump a little awkward with the nose to far down.
Had I not had a stabilizer, the impact of the front wheels hitting the ground would have ripped the handlebars out of my hand most likely sending me and the machine into a cartwheeling roll. With the stabilizer, I was able to maintain complete control of the machine. I am sold on them even more than a performance suspension.
Thanks, for the info. That helps a lot.
