The suspension fork also deflect quickly and
unhindered when hitting bumps and cushions the
bump when placed at an optimum setting.
Traction is retained (blue line).

Rebound dampers
Rebound dampers damp rebound movements, i.e.
rebound stress loads.
Rebound damping determines the speed at which
the suspension rebounds after being exposed to
load. Rebound damping controls the suspension
fork extension and rebound speed, which, in turn,
has an impact on traction and control.

The suspension fork responds instantly to the
impact. The headset and handlebars rise slightly
when absorbing a bump (green line).
The damper rebounds at a controlled speed if the
suspension fork is optimally adjusted. The wheel
stays in contact with the ground when passing
over bumps (blue line). The fork head, handlebars
and body follow terrain (green line) when riding
over bumps. The suspension motion is
predictable and controlled.
