Compression dampers
Compression dampers damp deflection
movements, i.e. compression loads.
The compression damper controls the
compression stroke speed or the extent to which
the suspension fork deflects during slow impacts.
When optimally adjusted, the suspension fork
counteracts deflection on hilly terrain, stays

High-speed compression dampers
The high-speed compression damper (also
abbreviated to HSC from high-speed
compression) is a specialised compression
damper.
A high deflection speed is generated in the
suspension fork on a mogul slope or on landing
after a jump.

higher in its deflection range and helps to maintain
speed when riding on hilly terrain.
The suspension fork deflects instantly unhindered
and absorbs bumps when the bike hits one.
Traction is retained (blue line).
The high-speed damper controls the suspension
fork's behaviour positively in such riding
situations.
