Our suspension forks come with a “Quick Range” low speed
compression adjuster that has 6 clicks of adjustment. Setting
“1” is wide open and recommended when descending or riding
on technical terrain. When you are climbing, you can switch
the LSC to “6” to give you the rmest setting and best pedaling
platform. Don’t forget to change this back when you start to
descend!
The BERYL “D2 damper” comes with a “Quick Range” low speed
compression adjuster that has 4 clicks of adjustment. Setting
“SOFT” is wide open and recommended when descending or
riding on technical terrain. When you are climbing, you can
switch to “FIRM” to give you the rmest setting and best
pedaling platform. Don’t forget to change this back when you
start to descend!
The D3/E3 Model forks come with a full range low speed com-
pression. Use this feature to add more support for body move-
ments on the bike. This will help the front-end stand up taller
and reduce the potential for “diving” under braking.
Start from full open, (counter-clockwise) then make full turn
adjustments at a time.
STEP 5: LOW SPEED COMPRESSION
Low speed compression affects the suspensions performance when the shaft is moving up
and down at slow speeds. Low Speed affects small bump performance and controls dive under
braking.
WHY DO I NEED LSC?
Low speed compressions controls the slower vertical movements such as climbing or slower
paced trails and bumpy whoop sections. A good example of low speed is rolling slowly over a
large rock and riding to its downside, this is where the suspension will fully compress but at a
slower rate and low speed compression circuit comes into play. LSC refers to the shaft speed
of the suspension and not the actual riding speed. LS compression is best controlled through a
low speed oil circuit and or shim stack.
WHAT IS LSC?
Too much Low Speed Compression will result in harshness over small bumps and traction will
be reduced. Turning performance may also suffer because the suspension will ride too high in
its travel. Ride may become harsh.
Not enough Low Speed Compression will result in the front end diving to quickly under braking.
The suspension will have a mushy feeling and may bottom out too easily.
