Low Speed Compression Damping
To increase (+) low speed compression damping (firm), turn the
compression adjuster knob clockwise.
To decrease (-) low speed compression damping (soft), turn the
compression adjuster knob adjuster counter-clockwise.

Adjust
Low speed compression (LSC) damping adjustment controls compression
stroke speed, or the rate at which the fork compresses, during slow
compression stroke scenarios. LSC affects bump absorption and efficiency
during rider weight shifts, transitions, cornering, more gradual bump impacts,
and braking.
Increased LSC damping:
• Keeps the suspension fork riding higher in its travel. This may help the
rider improve efficiency and maintain momentum over gradual, rolling
terrain and through corners.
• Suspension compression may feel more firm on bumpier terrain.
Decreased LSC damping:
• Allows the fork to compress quickly and easily. This may help the rider
maintain momentum and speed on bumpier terrain.
• Suspension compression may feel less firm on bumpier terrain.
LSC damping adjustments have less effect during high speed compression
stroke scenarios. Drops and large bump impacts can exceed the LSC
damper's effective range of control and will cause the suspension fork to
compress suddenly and quickly, regardless of the LSC damper setting.
Increase LSC damping to reduce compression stroke speed and increase
efficiency on rolling or smoother terrain, and when climbing out of the
saddle.
