Suspension and damping
7.9.1
Fork
When the
fork lock
is in the open position, the
suspension system
is active, thus reducing impact on
the rider and the vehicle. You should therefore
preferably ride with the
fork lock
open when on terrain.
The fork can only move slightly if the suspension is
locked. This ensures the front tyre maintains contact
with the ground without lifting when travelling over
obstacles. This setting offers greater traction and
better steering compared to opened suspension.
When riding downhill or at high speed, the
suspension
system
absorbs the force exerted on the drive,
reducing it by up to 50%. It is recommendable to close
the suspension fork in such circumstances.
The
fork lock
is located on the fork head.
