11 TUNING THE CHASSIS
11.4
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 an asphalt edge: the rear wheel suspen-
sion compresses quickly.
The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over long ground swells: the rear wheel suspen-
sion compresses 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.
