2) the Ohlins strut is a single-adjustable that primarily affects rebound damping but with a lesser effect on compression damping.

1) like the front strut, the rear adjustments are effective over about half the total adjustment range (about 1 to 15, 32 being maximum). Higher settings were omitted to avoid congesting the graph. Again Ohlins recommends 10 as a starting point.
HALF the adjustment range not making a difference? That's just terrible . . . I'd be pissed if I found this out on a product I spent over $2k for. I expect this from a company like BC Racing lol, not Ohlins
