immediately the load is released. We recommend the optimum setting is to adjust the re-bound
damping to be as slow as possible, but not so slow that the normal ride height is not recovered.
On very rough terrain, if the bike becomes progressively lower as more bumps are hit then the re
-bound damping is set too slow. On the other hand if the bike feels choppy and not plush then
the re-bound damping is too fast. A bit of trial and error is needed to get the exact setting.

Record your best suspension settings in the table below, to restore them if necessary, eg. after
dealer servicing of the suspension or if a friend has borrowed your bike.
