Rebound Damping
Rebound damping controls suspension fork
extension/return speed which affects traction and
control.
• Optimal rebound damping allows the fork to
extend at a controlled speed and maintain
traction and control.
• Rebound that is too fast allows the fork to
extend too quickly which causes the wheel to
bounce off of objects and the ground resulting
in a 'pogo' effect.
• Rebound that is too slow prevents the fork from
extending quickly enough to regain contact with
the ground or prepare for the next impact.
Rebound damping can be tuned to rider weight,
spring rate, and travel, as well as for terrain and
rider preference.
As air pressure or spring rate increases, extension/
return speed increases. To achieve the optimal
setting, rebound damping may need to be increased
when air pressure or spring rate increases.
For recommended rebound settings go to
www.rockshox.com/app. After setting sag, adjust the
rebound damper, go for a ride, and adjust again as
preferred.
To decrease rebound speed (slower return),
turn the rebound adjuster clockwise.
To increase rebound speed (faster return),
turn the rebound adjuster counter-clockwise.
