Not hard.

Did I understand correct that you typically need to service the suspension with even 1-2 MTB rides per year?

I understand intellectually that suspension is a huge benefit to modern MTBs, and that suspension is a relatively complex component, and that it's going to require maintenance. Servicing it that often seems like a lot to me, and that's one of the reasons I quit MTBing after about a year trying it.

I think he meant service 1 yearly with 1-2 rides per week.
