changing the spring rate
Spring rate is the amount of force needed to compress a spring one inch. Changing your fork's coil
spring for a spring of a higher or lower rate will alter the overall feel of your fork. Higher spring rates
make the fork feel more "stiff", while lower spring rates make the fork more "supple". Contact your local
RockShox dealer to order replacement springs.

travel adjustment
coil u-turn travel adjust
U-Turn forks offer 45mm of travel adjustment (Recon/Tora: 85 to 130mm). To determine the travel on
your fork, use the travel gradients on the upper tube (except Tora). Turning the U-Turn adjuster knob
counterclockwise increases travel. Each turn increases or decreases the travel by 7.5 mm.
changing travel
To change the travel of your fork (Recon and Tora: 80, 100 or 130) you must perform a full service on
your fork. To obtain service information and instructions, visit our website at www.rockshox.com or
contact your local RockShox dealer or distributor.
RebounD DamPing
external rebound adjustment
Rebound damping controls the speed at which a fork returns to its full extension following compression.
Located at the bottom of the right fork leg is the rebound adjuster knob. Turning the adjuster in the
direction indicated by the "rabbit" on the rebound speed decal decreases rebound damping, causing
the fork to return to full extension faster. Turning the adjuster in the direction indicated by the "turtle"
increases rebound damping, slowing the return of the fork to full extension.

excessive rebound damping will cause the fork to

The Motion Control Damping system allows riders to quickly adjust the feel and performance of their
suspension to match riding conditions without requiring pumps or tools. This system provides for wide-
ranging control of compression and rebound damping as well as 'Lock' threshold sensitivity. Proper
setup of the Motion Control Damping system provides a range of options for efficient yet comfortable
performance. The instructions below describe setup and operation for both crown and remote activated
forks.
