Compression damping of the shock absorber
The shock absorber can regulate compression damping in low- and high-speed range separately (Dual Compression Control).
The term low speed and high speed refer to the movement of the shock absorber during compression and not the riding speed of the
motorcycle.
Changes in the settings in the low-speed range have an impact on the high-speed range and vice versa.
