6.16.4.1 Adjusting the rear frame damper sus-
pension
The suspension setting on the rear frame damper
is optional and can have up to three settings:
• Open
• Locked out
• Threshold (optional)
Lockout (optional)
The suspension system absorbs a great deal of
motor and muscle power during rides uphill or on
optimally tarmacked roads. This increases energy
consumption and reduces propulsion. It thus
makes sense to lock the suspension on
tarmacked roads and when riding uphill.
Threshold (optional)
Threshold mode increases drive efficiency over level
terrain.
The threshold setting can be used to improve
pedalling efficiency over flat, hilly, level or slightly
rugged terrain. In threshold mode, higher pedelec
speeds lead to greater impact force when a pedelec
hits a bump, causing the suspension fork to deflect,
and the bump is absorbed.
