Info
Turn clockwise to increase the damping; turn counter-
clockwise to reduce damping when the shock absorber
rebounds.
12.4 Compression damping of the shock absorber
The compression damping of the shock absorber is divided into two ranges: high-speed and low-speed.
High-speed and low-speed refer to the compression speed of the rear wheel suspension and not to the vehicle
speed.
The high-speed compression adjuster, for example, has an effect when riding over an asphalt edge: the rear wheel
suspension compresses quickly.
The low-speed compression adjuster has an effect, for example, when riding over long ground swells: the rear
wheel suspension compresses slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is grad-
ual. Thus, modifications in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and vice
versa.
