All forks with Motion Control Damping allow for fine-tuning of the 'Lock' s e t t i n g . The
rider can choose the point at which the 'Lock' setting can 'blow-off' and become active
to force inputs such as bumps or rocks. This adjustment is made using the Floodgate.
Depending upon fork model, the Floodgate is adjusted either internally (requires a
2.5mm hex wrench) or externally with the gold 'gate' adjuster.
For crown mounted adjusters, hold the adjuster in the 'Lock' position while adjusting
the internal Floodgate.

Under 'Lock', the maximum Floodgate setting results in a fork with minimal movement
while the minimum Floodgate setting results in increased fork movement.

OTE OR MAXIMUM FORK SENSITIVITY AND MOVEMENT
Floodgate settings should be used to adjust suspension compliance to medium sized
bumps and resistance to rider induced suspension movement (referred to as "bob") in
the 'Lock' mode. When properly tuned, the Motion Control System will resist "bob," but
provide controlled suspension action in rough or aggressive terrain.
Under 'Lock', heavier riders may find better performance with maximum Floodgate
settings, while lighter riders may find minimum Floodgate settings work best.
Experiment with higher or lower Floodgate settings while on the trail to optimize your
fork for your riding style and performance preferences.
Use the charts below to establish an initial Floodgate setting.
