SETTING THE RIDING MODE
The riding mode setting determines the compression speed of
the fork. There are three settings. To adjust the setting, use the
lever on the fork or the remote lever on the handlebar:
OPEN:
"OPEN" mode is the most sensitive, factory-set setting. The fork
responds sensitively to small unevennesses in the terrain.
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 more efficient pedalling for climbing on roads or
easier trails.
LOCK:
If the lever on the fork or remote lever on the handlebar 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, preventing damage to the fork.

ADJUSTING THE COMPRESSION DAMPING
In order to meet the requirements of all riders, the
low-speed compression can be set in "OPEN"
mode with the setup tool (Torx T10).
The fork is very sensitive and comfortable when the
compression damping is fully open
(counterclockwise to the stop).
To use the full potential of the fork, we recommend
using it with the compression damping fully open
regardless of the rider's weight and the bicycle.
The compression damping can be incrementally
increased for a less sensitive response.
