Compression Adjuster On Rear Shock - Bosch BULLS ICONIC EVO TR 1 750 Operating Instructions Manual

6.5.16 Compression adjuster on rear shock

When optimally adjusted, the rear shock travels quickly and unhindered when the bike hits bumps and
absorbs a bump. Traction is retained (blue line).
The saddle rises slightly when absorbing a bump (green line).
Compression adjuster set to hard
Allows the rear shock to move higher in the
•
travel range. This makes it easier to improve
efficiency and maintain momentum when
pedalling or riding over uniformly hilly terrain and
around bends.
Travel feels somewhat harder on bumpy terrain.

Threshold
The damping threshold prevents deflection until a
medium impact or downward force occurs.
Threshold mode increases drive efficiency over
level terrain.
The threshold setting can be used to improve
pedaling efficiency over flat, hilly, level or slightly
rugged terrain. In threshold mode, higher ebike
speeds lead to greater impact force when a
ebike hits a bump, causing the fork to travel,
and the bump is absorbed.
Compression adjuster set to soft
Allows the shock to travel quickly and easily.
•
This makes it easier to maintain speed and
momentum when riding over bumpy terrain.
Travel feels somewhat less hard on bumpy
•
terrain.
• When the compression adjuster is in the open
position, the rear shock travels quickly and
unhindered through its entire travel range.
• When the compression adjuster is in the
threshold position, the rear shock counteracts
travel until a medium impact or downward force
occurs.
• When the compression adjuster is in the
locked out position, the rear shock will not
engage its travel until a strong impact or
downward force occurs.
