Compression damping of the shock absorber (Duke R)
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 setting, for example, has an effect when riding over an asphalt edge: the rear wheel suspension compresses quickly.
The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect 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 gradual. Thus, changes in the
high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and vice versa.

Caution
Danger of accidents
Disassembly of pressurized parts can lead to injury.

The shock absorber is filled with high density nitrogen. Adhere to the description provided. (Your authorized KTM workshop will
be glad to help.)
