SETTING REBOuND
Rebound controls the rate at which your rear wheel returns after it has been compressed. The proper rebound
setting is of personal preference, and varies with rider weight, riding style and conditions. A basic rule of
thumb is to set rebound to be as quick as possible, without kicking back and pushing you off the saddle.
To set rebound :
1. The rebound circuits work independently. Make sure the remote travel lever is set to the travel mode
you’re setting. See Setting Travel.
2. Turn the selected rebound knob clockwise until it stops. Turn it couter-clockwise; counting each click.
A good starting point to begin adjustments is 7 clicks out from closed. Each rebound dial has about 13
clicks of adjustment range.
ELEVATE 95 mm
FLOW 160 mm
NOTICE
Do not force rebound dial past stop point.
WARNING
KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM MOVING LINKAGE.
Make adjust-
ments when you are off the saddle, not riding or sitting on bike. Attempting
to adjust rebound while sitting or riding in motion on your bicycle can lead to a
serious hand/finger injury or a loss of rider control, which can result in serious
injury or death.
SETTING TRAvEL
The DYAD RT2 has two travel modes, activated by the remote handlebar-mounted lever. Switching between
the modes changes the bike’s sag and BB height, offering a higher BB and steeper angles for climbing, or
a lower BB and slacker angles for descending, keeping the rider in the proper position for the terrain. It is
fundamentally like having two different bikes available to you at the flick of a switch.
To operate remote lever :
Push the lever forward until it clicks into place in the ELEVATE 95 mm position.
Press the lever button to release the lever and allow cable tension to return the lever to the FLOW 160 mm
position.
ELEVATE 95 mm
FLOW 160 mm
A (short travel) mode with low volume air shock
for providing a firm, progressive spring rate,
XC type damping circuits for trail riding, rolling
terrain, and climbing performance.
Spring Rate is Steeper
Sag is cut to 60%
BB is higher / Steep Geometry
DYAD RT2’s L.A.S. (linear airspring technology)
provides a spring rate that is virtually identical
to a coil spring and mates it with speed sensitive
DH style damping circuits tuned for maximum
descending performance.
Spring rate is softer.
Sag is 100%
BB is lower / Stable Geometry
