Operation
7.9 Suspension and damping
7.9.1 Locking the front wheel suspension
When the fork lock is in the open position, the
suspension system has activated suspension and thus
provides the rider and the bicycle with relief. Riding
with the fork lock open should therefore be preferred
for everyday riding.
When riding downhill or at high speed, for instance,
the force which is exerted on the drive is absorbed by
the suspension system and reduced by up to 50%. In
these cases it is recommendable to close the
suspension fork.
The fork lock may be situated directly on the fork or on
the handlebars, depending on the version. Fork lock

In order to release the front

position.
