Operation
6.5.14 Fork rebound damping
Only applies to
ebikes
with this equipment
Rebound damping in the suspension fork and the
rear shock
determines the speed at which the
rear shock
rebounds after being subjected to
load. Rebound damping controls the suspension
fork extension and rebound speed, which, in
turn, has an impact on traction and control.
Rebound damping can be adjusted to body
weight, spring stiffness,
travel
, the terrain and the
rider's preferences.
If the air pressure or spring stiffness increases,
the extension and rebound speeds also increase.
Rebound damping needs to be increased to
achieve an optimal setting if the air pressure or
spring stiffness are increased.
The damper rebounds at a controlled speed if the
fork is optimally adjusted. The wheel stays in
contact with the ground when passing over bumps
(blue line).
The fork
crow
, handlebars and body follow terrain
(green line) when riding over bumps. The
suspension motion is predictable and controlled.
