If so, and that's the only change you're making, the likelihood of you feeling a difference in actual ride quality is pretty small. It is a common misconception that MagRide changes the feel of the ride from very soft to very stiff - the changes have ONLY to do with the dampening rates of the shocks. The springs are what determine how 'soft' the ride feels and those are not controllable.
I'm with the OP on this one. I can absolutely tell the diff between the modes, especially between Tour and Track. And changing the "rate" absolutely affects how the ride "feels". The distance the suspension will travel may be the same in various modes (that's built-into the springs, if you will), but if the "rate" that distance is traveled is less (track mode), the ride WILL feel stiffer. That's the whole point of MRC, to reduce instantaneous roll during quick turns and reduce pronounced body roll.
