5.5 Adjusting the compression
The compression damping regulates the compression
speed of the fork and can be adjusted in three stages via
the lever on the fork or using the remote lever on the
handlebar.
OPEN:
In "OPEN" mode, the compression damping of the fork
is in the most sensitive, factory-set setting. The fork
responds sensitively to small uneven areas of the ter-
rain.
DRIVE:
If the lever on the fork or remote lever on the handlebar is
moved to the middle position, the compression damping is
partially closed. This makes the fork much tauter and encourages
effective pedalling in situations where no full performance of
the fork is required (uphill climbing on roads or easy trails, rides
on even ground).
LOCK:
If the lever on the fork or remote lever on the handlebars is
moved to the "LOCK" position, the flow of oil is blocked. A
blow-off valve opens the flow of oil in the event of heavy impacts and therefore prevents
damage to the fork.
5.6 Adjusting the rebound
The rebound damping regulates the
rebound speed of the fork and can be set by
rotating the red traction level wheel by
around 28 clicks.
The rebound damping is increased in a
clockwise direction.
The rebound damping is decreased in an
anti-clockwise direction.
If the rebound damping is too low, the front
wheel will rebound too quickly. A rebound
damping that is set too low will be felt
through the frame bouncing up when riding.
If the rebound damping is too high, the front wheel can no longer follow rapid-succession
impacts and the suspension hardens.
The aim of the rebound setting is to achieve as effective absorption of the rebound movement
as possible to reflect the demands of the terrain. On fast, rough descents, for example, a lower
rebound damping (= faster rebound speed) should be selected than on fluid descents without
any major obstacles.
