6.15.5 Adjusting the rear frame damper compression damper
When optimally adjusted, the rear frame damper
deflects quickly and unhindered when the bike hits
bumps and absorbs a bump. Traction is retained
(blue line).
Figure 155: Optimum rear frame damper ride performance over bumps
Hard
A compression damper set to hard causes the
rear frame damper to move higher in the
deflection range. This makes it easier to improve
efficiency and maintain momentum when
pedalling or riding over uniformly hilly terrain and
around bends.
Deflection feels somewhat harder on bumpy
terrain.

The saddle rises slightly when absorbing a bump
(green line).
The compression damper has two settings:
•
Hard
•
Soft
Soft
Allows the damper to deflect quickly and easily. This
makes it easier to maintain speed and momentum
when riding over bumpy terrain.
Deflection feels somewhat less hard on bumpy
terrain.
