Operation
Threshold
The damping threshold prevents deflection until a
medium impact or downward force occurs.
Threshold mode increases drive efficiency over
level terrain.
The threshold setting can be used to improve
pedalling efficiency over flat, hilly, level or slightly
rugged terrain. In threshold mode, higher
S pedelec speeds lead to greater impact force
when a S pedelec hits a bump, causing the fork to
deflect, and the bump is absorbed.
The fork threshold
• When the compression adjuster is in the open
position (against the stop in an anti-clockwise
direction), the suspension fork deflects quickly
and unhindered through its entire deflection
range when an impact or downward force occurs.
• When the compression adjuster is in the
threshold position, the suspension fork
counteracts deflection until a medium impact or
downward force occurs.
• When the compression adjuster is in the blocked
position (against the stop in a clockwise direction),
the suspension fork counteracts deflection
throughout its deflection range until a strong
impact or downward force occurs.
The rear frame damper threshold
• When the compression adjuster is in the open
position, the rear frame damper deflects quickly
and unhindered through its entire deflection
range.
• When the compression adjuster is in the
threshold position, the rear frame damper
counteracts deflection until a medium impact or
downward force occurs.
• When the compression adjuster is in the blocked
position, the rear frame damper counteracts
deflection throughout its deflection range until a
strong impact or downward force occurs.

compression
adjuster
Only applies to S pedelecs with this equipment
Figure 86: Suntour compression adjuster in open (1) and
closed (2) position
The compression adjuster is open in the OPEN
position.
The compression adjuster is blocked in the
LOCK position.
The positions between OPEN and LOCK
provide fine adjustment of compression
damping. We recommend setting the
compression adjuster to the OPEN position
first.
