Compression damping of the shock absorber

The compression damping of the shock absorber is divided into two ranges: high-speed and low-speed.
High-speed and low-speed refer to the compression speed of the rear wheel suspension and not to the vehicle speed.
The high-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over road damage: the rear wheel suspension compresses quickly.
The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over long ground swells: the rear wheel suspension compresses more
slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is gradual. Thus, changes in
the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and vice versa.
