Rebound damping
Rebound damping defines the speed at which the
suspension rebounds after being loaded.
Rebound damping controls the suspension fork
extension and rebound speed, which, in turn, has
an impact on traction and control. Rebound
damping can be adjusted to body weight, spring
stiffness, deflection, the terrain and the pedelec
rider's preferences. If the air pressure or spring
stiffness increases, the extension and rebound

Suspension fork compression damper
The compression damper allows the rider to make
quick adjustments to the fork's suspension
behaviour to adapt to changes in terrain. It is
intended for adjustments made during the ride.
The compression damper controls the
compression lifting speed or the extent to which
the fork deflects during slow impacts. The
compression damper affects the absorption of
bumps when weight shifts or during transitions,

speeds also increase. Rebound damping needs to
be increased to achieve an optimal setting if the
air pressure or spring stiffness is increased. The
damper rebounds at a controlled speed if the fork
is optimally adjusted. The wheel stays in contact

cornering and uniform impacts caused by bumps
and when braking. When optimally adjusted, the
fork counteracts deflection on hilly terrain, stays
higher in its deflection range and helps to maintain
speed when riding on hilly terrain. The fork
deflects quickly and unhindered and absorbs the
bump when the bike hits a bump. Traction is
retained (blue line).
