Low speed compression is adjusted using the gray dial located at the top of
the right plunger (2-A). Allows the fork's harshness to be adjusted during small
impacts by regulating the hydraulic flow
High speed compression is adjusted via the black dial located at the top of
the right plunger (2-B). Allows to adjust the harshness of the fork during big
shocks by regulating the hydraulic flow.
The traction control is adjusted using the red lever (2-C). By acting on this
lever, the upstream oil flow is adjusted, before it can shift into high and low
speed compressions. Its effect is to stiffen all speeds as it reduces oil flow,
without going so far as to block. This results in better support and therefore
increased efficiency.
To start setting your suspension adjustment, turn the knob all the way in the clockwise
direction (=click 0) then turn your adjuster counterclockwise one click at a time.
Tuning tips:
When it comes to hydraulic settings, there is no such thing as a “magical formula”; many factors have to be
taken into account (bike balance, bike geometry, and rider preferences to name a few). Having that said,
the following may help guide your adjustments:
•
Excessive diving of the fork under braking : harden the traction control
•
Frequent bottom-out : harden compression
•
Feeling of harshness on roots and rocks (square edges) : soften compression
•
Discomfort, arms getting sore : soften compression, and/or traction control
•
Fork stays low over successive impacts and doesn’t spring back : speed up rebound
•
Bike sits too high in travel : slow down rebound
Whenever you are far from the standard settings (Starting point settings), it’s always good to consider what
influences the performance of the fork. Proceed step by step, one setting at a time by hardening or softening
just a few clicks each time.
If you ever get lost while you are setting up the forks, always go back to the starting point settings.
