The shock absorber can regulate compression damping separately in the low-speed and
high-speed ranges (Dual Compression Control).
The terms low-speed and high-speed refer to the movement of the shock absorber during
compression and not the riding speed of the motorcycle.
Changes in the low-speed range settings have an impact on the high-speed range and vice
versa.
