2.2.4
Low-Speed Rebound (LSR)
Fast rebound speed after small hits leads to a sensible fork on fast trails and perfect grip in turns because the
wheel gets contact to the ground immediately after hits.
2.2.5
High-Speed Rebound (HSR)
Medium rebound speed after big hits enables the fork to be ready for following hits. The rebound speed is not
too fast so that the fork gives a controlled feeling after drops and steps.
2.2.6
Rebound - Function in Detail
The preloaded floating piston pushes the oil from the upper part of the damping unit into the oil chamber
when the fork is released. The oil can flow directly from the upper unit of the damping unit into the oil
chamber (see A). The rebound damping happens in the damping piston (see B).
When the fork rebounds slowly, the oil flows through the oil channel of the low-speed rebound (LSR). An
adjusting needle, which position can be adjusted with the red rebound wheel, controls the flowing resistance
through the LSR oil channel. The higher the flowing resistance, the higher the rebound damping.
Additionally, the oil flows through the oil channel of the high-speed rebound (HSR). Shims are placed at the
end of the oil channel. These shims only open when a defined oil pressure is attained. Oil which cannot flow
through the oil channels of the LSR (because of fast deflection of the fork and thus big displacement of the oil
generated by the piston) flows through the oil channels of the HSR. This ensures separate damping
characteristics on small and medium or on fast rebound speeds.
