1. A system for configuring a damping force on a suspension system of a bicycle, the system comprising:
a memory device configured to store front shock zenith position data, front shock velocity data, rear shock zenith position data, and rear shock velocity data for a bicycle, the bicycle comprising a front shock and a rear shock,
wherein the front shock zenith position data and the front shock velocity data are representative of movement of the front shock over time, and the rear shock zenith position data and the rear shock velocity data are representative of movement of the rear shock over time; and
a hardware processor in communication with the memory device, the hardware processor being programmed to:
generate a first approximation curve by curve fitting the front shock zenith position data and the front shock velocity data,
generate a second approximation curve by curve fitting the rear shock zenith position data and the rear shock velocity data,
generate an indicator that is responsive to a comparison of the first approximation curve and the second approximation curve, and
output the indicator for presentation to a user.
