What the thread found

• The ride adjustment knob controls the length of an internal crankshaft that repositions where the spring terminates as the arm moves through its boom range
• Adjusting the ride knob changes the iso-elastic characteristics of the arm and smooths out its response throughout the lift cycle
• The G70x uses coaxial titanium spring sets rather than separate springs and pulleys

Depends on

• The explanation comes from manufacturer documentation rather than hands-on user experience
• No detailed breakdown of how specific ride settings affect performance in practice
