Compression Adjustment
The compression adjustment knob is at the top of the
shock. Printed on the knob is “H” meaning
Hard ( MAX ,
which is for slower compression) and “S” meaning Soft
( MIN , which is for faster compression). Turn the adjuster
clockwise for a harder ride (slower compression). For a
softer ride (faster compression), turn the adjuster
counter-clockwise. Start with a middle setting and fine tune
the compression from there. Proper compression allows
the tire to track the ground over consecutive bumps.
Compression that is set too hard will pack-up (feel harsh
over consecutive bumps), while compression that is set
too soft causes the shock to bottom out harshly. If the
shock is bottoming out, turn the adjuster one click at a time
until the bottom out stops.
Note: Adjusters should never be forced completely “Soft”
or “Hard”; always leave one click of adjustment in either
direction.
