Adjustment
:
Rotate the HSC adjuster knob
counter-clockwise to
decrease
compression damping and
increase
stroke speed.

Start with a
Mid
setting and
adjust as desired. Larger bumps
and drops, and increased riding
speed will typically allow for a
firmer HSC setting.

HSC Damping - Soft
A
The fork compresses through full
travel quickly and freely. The fork
can bottom out as the impacts are fully
absorbed.
B
The fork crown and handlebar
drop significantly at full
compression, or fork bottom out.
HSC Damping - Mid
A
The fork can compress through its
effective travel, absorbing the
impact in a controlled manner. Use of
full travel may depend on rider speed
and bump size.
B
The fork crown and handlebar
rise moderately at bump impact,
and drop moderately after the drop.
HSC Damping - Firm
A
The fork can resist compressing
and impact force may be
transmitted to the rider. The fork
compresses partially and does not
bottom out. Use of full travel depends
on rider speed and bump size.
B
The fork crown and handlebar are
suddenly forced up at bump
impact, and drop minimally after the
drop as the fork resists compressing.
