High-speed compression damping controls the force it takes to move the fork through its travel, or how quickly the wheel responds to a bump. This adjuster rotates to stops at each
end and has 24 clicks of adjustment. It is factory-set at 12 clicks out from the fully closed (clockwise) position.

Soft
Compression
Maximum wheel traction and bump compliance. If setting
is too soft, you may bottom often on square-edged hits
and G-outs.

Firm
Compression
Reduces bottom-out and provides maximum bump
absorption. If setting is too firm, you may experience a
harsh ride with poor traction and use too little of the
available travel.
Adjusting TALAS Travel
180 mm:
• 7.10" (180 mm)
• 5.50" (140 mm)
36 TALAS RC2 forks feature two externally adjustable travel choices, and these are easily selected with the TALAS travel adjusting topcap located on top of the left fork leg. Travel
options and direction are printed on the topcap.
NOTE: When changing travel, the TALAS system automatically adjusts to provide you with the appropriate linear air spring rate for each travel setting. There is no need
to change the air pressure in the TALAS air chamber after adjusting travel.
CAUTION: For safety reasons, adjust TALAS travel only when you're not riding the bike.
Service Intervals
To extend the service life of your FOX fork or shock, the best
product maintenance plan you can follow is cleaning the
product exterior after each and every ride or race. Use mild
soapy water, a very light pressure water spray to rinse, and
wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use any solvents or de-greasers, as these products can damage the shock's exterior finish or its anodized parts.
Do not spray water directly on the seal/upper tube junction.
Never use a high pressure washer on your FOX fork or
rear shock.
When dirt dries onto the fork upper tube or shock body, it will
chafe and damage the wiper seal. With a damaged seal, dirt
works its way into the fork or shock. Simple, periodic
maintenance can greatly extend the service life of your FOX
fork or shock.
TIP: If you ride in extreme conditions frequently (wet and muddy, downhill racing, winter riding, etc.), correspondingly the service intervals should be more frequent.
