Rear frame damper
9.5.4.1 Rebound too fast
The rear frame damper rebounds too quickly,
producing a “pogo stick” effect or causing the bike
to bounce after the wheel hits a bump and lands
on the ground again. This impairs traction and
control due to the uncontrolled speed at which the
damper rebounds after deflecting (blue line).
Saddle and handlebars are deflected upwards
when the wheel bounces back from the ground.
The rider's body weight may be shifted upwards
and forwards if the damper fully rebounds too
quickly (green line).
