6.15 Suspension and damping
6.15.1 Adjusting the compression in the
Suntour fork
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The compression adjuster makes it possible to
make quick adjustments to the suspension
behaviour of the fork to suit changes in terrain. It
is intended for adjustments made during the ride.
Figure 81: Suntour compression adjuster with OPEN (1)
and LOCK (2) positions
Compression damping is lowest in the OPEN
position, making the fork feel softer.
Use the lock position if you want the fork to feel
stiffer and you are riding on soft ground.
The positions between OPEN and LOCK
provide fine adjustment of compression
damping.
We recommend setting the compression adjuster
to the OPEN position first.
The compression damper controls the speed at
which the rear frame damper deflects during slow
impact, such as smaller impacts or when the rider
goes round a corner or shifts their weight. The
compression damper improves control and
efficiency.
If the compression damper is set too high,
suspension is too hard when exposed to impacts.
The damper lever is used to set the compression
damper.
Turn the setting wheel in a clockwise
direction (+) to decrease the deflection speed.
