Jakeru looks like a very well matched set of shocks. I'm certainly no shock expert, those guys are magicians, anyone that can design a suspension for a stadium truck that can launch 20 feet in the air and land on level ground like a butterfly with sore feet really knows their stuff. What I do see from the chart is that these shocks are very linear. The compression is linear in the slow speed until the transition to high speed where it firms up just prior to valve pack opening and is divergent in the high speed circuit. I see what you mean by not being as divergent as one would expect. In fact I would have expected the initial response curve to be much steeper. These are definitely on the full soft setting based on the rebound slope (no knee). It would have been really useful if they had made a few plots with a couple adjustments to the firmness setting. Guess that's for the experts.
