Choosing the spring stiffness of the
suspension fork

Your suspension fork comes by default with a
standard spring that covers a wide range of
load and riding styles.

If the spring stiffness should not meet your re-
quirements after adjusting the pre-load or if
the suspension bottoms out too much, you
can order a spring with another spring stiff-
ness through your dealer and have it mounted
there. For more information see

page 43

.

It is not important to exactly follow the rec-
ommended values for the negative travel,
rather follow your feeling how the bicycle be-
haves during a ride, depending on the road sit-
uation.

While riding you should only seldom feel the
suspension bottoming out. However, in case
this never occurs the spring might be to hard
which means you don't use the total suspen-
sion travel.

The suspension fork M

EKS

Carbon AC is fitted

with a hydraulic damping unit. On the right
fork leg is a turning knob to adjust the damp-
ing.

You increase the damping by turning the knob
clockwise.

We recommend you to start with the lowest
possible damping. Only when the fork oscil-
lates more than once after you have gone over
a bump should you increase the damping.

When the fork works fine when passing a sin-
gle bump but stiffens distinctly when passing
several bumps that come quickly in a row, the
damping is too high. However, when the fork
"jumps" during the rebound movement the
damping has to be increased.
