The pressure values in the table are given as a mere example and can be changed to meet the biker’s riding style and the track condition.
Setting: Rebound adjustment
Right fork leg:
With the rebound adjuster you can control the return speed of the fork after compression.
The right rebound speed setting makes the bike stable letting it follow the variations in the terrain and any obstacles.
If the fork setting is too reactive this will make the rear suspension instable and the mountain bike will have a tendency to snake. A too slow setting
however will cause problems when dealing with multiple obstacles where the suspension can't return to its fully extended position fast enough
between one obstacle and the next.
Using a small pin extractor, push the valve pin down to eliminate the right leg pressure.
With a 21mm socket spanner, unscrew and remove the protection cap (
A
).
Fit the hexagonal rod (
B
) supplied into the hole of the adjustment screw (
C
) in the stanchion tube.
Turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise increases the hydraulic damping and the fork will be
slower during the rebound phase.
Turning the adjustment screw clockwise decreases the hydraulic damping and the fork will be more
reactive during the rebound phase.
Once the setting has been made, refit the protection cap and tighten it to the recommended torque (
10
Nm ±1
).
Restore the recommended air pressure.
Do not force the adjuster beyond its limit of travel.
Setting: ETA
Left fork leg:
The ETA cartridge lets you adjust the rebound damping “on the fly” reducing the fork length down to a 30mm travel.
The control has two positions:
Pos: LOCK
Turning knob (
A
) clockwise activates the ETA cartridge function.
In this position, the fork legs stay down when hitting an obstacle; any other impact will lower the bike’s
geometry further.
This position is recommended to face steep and demanding uphills.
