Negative Spring

Adds negative spring for improved rebound control, platform stability, and initial sensitivity.

Sound of Technology

Explains that operational sounds are normal for high-performance shock absorbers.

Hydraulic Setup Guide

Low Speed Compression (LSC)

Adjusts shock response at slow shaft speeds for stability and grip.

High Speed Compression (HSC)

Manages impacts from sharp obstacles, improving control and comfort.

Rebound Adjustment (REB)

Controls ride feel and wheel contact; adjust for comfort and consistent cornering.

Sag and Spring Rate

Sag Adjustment Guidelines

Setting sag is crucial for bike geometry and handling, recommended percentages for different riding styles.

Spring Rate Calculation
