12.4 Compression damping of the shock absorber
500313-01
The compression damping of the shock absorber is divided into two ranges: high-speed and
low-speed.
High-speed and low-speed refer to the compression speed of the rear wheel suspension and
not to the vehicle speed.
The high-speed setting, for example, has an effect on the landing after a jump: the rear
wheel suspension compresses more quickly.
The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over long ground swells: the
rear wheel suspension compresses more slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed
and low-speed is gradual. Thus, changes in the high-speed range affect the compression
damping in the low-speed range and vice versa.
