A recreational vehicle for operation by an operator, comprising:
- a plurality of ground engaging members;
- a frame supported by the plurality of ground engaging members;
- at least one suspension coupling the plurality of ground engaging members to the frame, the at least one suspension including at least one adjustable shock absorber having at least one adjustable damping profile;
- a plurality of vehicle condition sensors supported by the plurality of ground engaging members;
- at least one controller operatively coupled to the at least one adjustable shock absorber and the plurality of vehicle condition sensors, the at least one controller receiving a plurality of inputs from the plurality of vehicle condition sensors;
