C OMPRESSION A DJUSTMENT (F IG. 4)
Some fork models also feature adjust able compression damping. Increased compression
decreases fork movement in the ‘Open’ position. Compression adjustment can be used
to help combat brake dive and "squatting" under hard cornering.
For crown activated forks, compression damping increases to ‘Lock’ as the crown-
mounted actuator rot ates 90 degrees clockwise. Position the actuator anywhere within
the range from ‘Open’ to ‘Lock’ to suit the desired level of compression damping.
NOTE: THE COMPRESSION SETTING DOES NOT ADVERSELY EFFECT YOUR FORK'S PERFORMANCE OVER HIGH
SPEED IMPACTS
