5.4 Negative air
If you inflate pressurized air through the valve,
you can reduce the fork’s static load.
By increasing the pressure inside the fork’s leg,
you increase the force helping the fork to start
sliding.
Moreover, the negative air allows regulating the
travel maximum value in a range corresponding
to 20 mm.
If you increase the pressure inside the fork’s leg,
you reduce the travel.
5.5 PAR – Air progression at travel
end
If you inflate pressurized air through the valve,
you can modify the damping of the forces
generated during the compression phase at the
fork’s legs travel end.
If you increase the pressure inside the fork’s leg,
you increase the compression final braking.
5.6 Rebound adjustment
Through the extension adjuster you can control
the fork’s rebound speed following to
compression.
A correct adjustment of the rebound speed
allows you to have a stable bike whose wheel
can perfectly deal with any obstacle.
If the adjustment is too reactive, the forecarriage
becomes unstable and the mountain bike may
swing. On the contrary, a too slow adjustment
makes the overcoming of multiple obstacles
difficult, where the suspension cannot go back
to a complete extended position between an
obstacle and the following one.
The rebound speed adjustment is made through
internal or external adjusters.
5.7 Compression adjustment
You can control the compression speed through
the compression adjuster.
The compression adjustment can be done
according to the user’s needs and it must
prevent the fork’s bottoming.
A “hard” compression adjustment offers more
stability and allows a more aggressive riding
style, making the mountain bike more reactive,
while a “softer” adjustment offers less stability
with the advantage of a less “nervous” riding
style.
The compression adjustments, according to the
models, can control the compression damping on
the whole travel or they can progressively
intervene at the end of travel only.
5.8 ETA (Extension Travel Adjust)
The ETA cartridge offers “on-the-fly” adjustment
of the rebound damping, by reducing the fork’s
length, but still keeping 30 mm of travel.
The adjustment has two positions:
Position LOCK
When turning the knob clockwise, you activate
the ETA cartridge function.
In this position the fork’s legs will stay down after
impacts; additional
impacts will further lower the
fork.
This position is only suitable for hard, steep
climbs.
Position UNLOCK
When turning the knob counterclockwise, you
reset the fork’s normal function by deactivating
the ETA cartridge function.
WARNING !
NEVER use the LOCK position while riding
downhill as the fork will not react
appropriately when hitting obstacles,
resulting in loss of control of the bicycle, an
accident, personal injury or death.
