TUNING THE CHASSIS
10.1
Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
An optimally adjusted compression damping ensures that the fork does not compress too far and fast when you brake hard or
when the load shifts very fast. It gives the rider good feedback about the road conditions.
10.2
Adjusting the rebound damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic rebound damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
An optimally adjusted rebound damping attenuates the spring energy and enables the fork to return to the zero position quickly
and without oscillations.
10.3
Adjusting the spring preload of the fork
Info
The spring preload determines the initial fork position.
