5.5 Adjusting the compression
The compression regulates the compression speed of
the shock and can be adjusted in three stages via the
lever on the shock or using the remote lever on the han-
dlebars:
OPEN:
In "OPEN" mode, the compression of the shock is in the
most sensitive, factory-set setting. The shock responds
sensitively to small unevennesses in the terrain.
DRIVE:
If the lever on the shock or remote lever on the handlebars is
moved to the middle position, the compression is partially
closed. This makes the bike much more firm and encourages
effective pedalling in situations where no full performance of
the shock is required (uphill climbing on roads or easy trails,
rides on even ground).
LOCK:
If the lever on the shock or remote lever on the handlebars is
moved to the "LOCK" position, the flow of oil at the shock pis-
ton is blocked. A blow-off valve opens the flow of oil in the
event of heavy impacts and therefore prevents damage to the shock.
5.6 Adjusting the rebound
The rebound regulates the rebound speed of the shock and can be set by rotating the red
rebound wheel via around 40 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 rear 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 rear 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 being travelled. On fast, rough descents, for example, a lower
rebound damping (= faster rebound speed) should be selected than on fluid descents without
any major obstacles.
