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.

High-speed damper
The high-speed damper (also abbreviated to HSC
from high-speed compression) is a specialised
compression damper.
A high speed is generated in the suspension fork

When optimally adjusted, the suspension fork
counteracts deflection on hilly terrain, stays
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).
on a mogul slope or on landing after a jump.
The high-speed damper controls the suspension
fork's behaviour positively in such riding
situations.
