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

High speed compression (HSC) damping adjustment controls compression
stroke speed, or the rate at which the fork compresses, during quick
compression scenarios. HSC affects bump impact absorption and efficiency
over large and square edge bumps, and down drops.
Bump size and shape, as well as riding speed, can affect compression stroke
speed. Large or square edge/sharp bumps will cause the fork to compress
suddenly and quickly. Impacts of any size and shape will compress quicker
when impacted at increased riding speed.
Increased HSC damping:
• Suspension travel used on bumpier terrain may be limited and may vary
depending on bump or drop size. This can prevent premature bottom
out when riding over and through larger impacts.
• Suspension compression may feel more firm on bumpier terrain.
Decreased HSC damping:
• Allows the suspension to compress easily. This may help the rider
maintain speed and momentum on moderately bumpier terrain.
• May allow premature bottom out when riding quickly over and through
larger bumps and drops.
• Suspension compression may feel less firm on bumpier terrain.
HSC damping adjustments have less effect during low speed compression
stroke scenarios. Rider weight shifts, transitions, cornering, more gradual
impacts, and braking do not create enough force to enter the HSC damper's
effective range of control.
Increase HSC damping to reduce high speed compression stroke speed on
moderate to larger impacts and very aggressive terrain.
