Description
3.3.2.3 Rear frame damper rebound damper
The rear frame damper rebounds at a controlled
speed if it is optimally adjusted. The rear wheel
does not bounce off rough surfaces or the ground;
it stays in contact with the ground instead (blue
line). The saddle is raised slightly if the bump is
compensated and gently sinks downwards when
the suspension deflects as soon as the wheel
touches the ground after the bump. The rear
frame damper rebounds in a controlled way,
so that the rider remains sitting in a horizontal
position when the next bump is absorbed. The
suspension motion is predictable and controlled.
The rider is not thrown upwards or forwards
(green line). The setting on the rebound damper
depends on the air pressure setting. A higher sag
requires lower rebound damping.

3.3.2.4 Rear frame damper compression damper
The compression damper controls the
compression lifting speed or amount by which the
rear frame damper deflects in response to slow
impacts. The compression damper affects the
absorption of bumps when weight shifts or when
braking and during transitions, cornering, and
uniform impacts caused by bumps.
When optimally adjusted, the rear frame damper
counteracts deflection, stays higher in its
deflection range and helps to maintain speed
when riding on hilly sections.
