COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENTS
The 3-position lever is useful to make on-the-fly adjustments to
control shock performance under significant changes in terrain,
and is intended to be adjusted throughout the ride.
Use the Open mode during rough descending, the Medium
mode for steep climbs where traction is paramount, and the
Firm mode for climbing on smooth terrain or hard surfaces.
