L20 3.0 Pro - Front fork bottoming out at 93kg, even on max preload - defect or normal?

Hello, i wanted to ask fellow l20 3.0 pro owners how their Suspension is feeling.
I just received my bike today, and when i tried it out i noticed that it was very easy to bottom out.
Because of the Reviews that mentioned that i was already aware of that, but now after trying it, it seems more extreme than i imagined.

For reference, im 93 kg and have the front fork set to Preload: max and the lockout set one click before fully locked.
Even with those settings, as soon as i sit on the bike it goes down half of the way on the front fork.

Riding on even ground isn't a problem, but with those settings, i feel like i don't get the benefit from the front suspension because its too stiff, and it still bottoms out when i drive over a pothole.

Whats your experience?
Is this a known issue, a design flaw, or possibly a faulty fork?
