66T is on a distinguished road
Fwiw, I have a piggyback Ohlins on mine after the OEM's dismal performance spoiled an otherwise great ride a few years ago. Never looked back. It has compression and rebound settings, though not separate hi/lo compression adjusters.

This business of building shocks with less than standard travel is weird imo. I can set the Ohlins up tight for on-road, or plusher for off-road. As far as I know, the piggyback version offers close to standard wheel travel, judging by its comparable length of exposed shaft at full extension.

Expensive, but the best thing I've done to my bike. Disgraceful that it's necessary to do so on a comparatively expensive ride.
