Compression Adjustment

The compression adjustment knob is at the top of the

shock. It has 18 stages of adjustment. The knob has “+”

(slower compression) and “-” (faster compression). Turn

the adjuster clockwise for slower compression. To speed

up compression, turn the adjuster counter-clockwise. Start

with a middle setting and fine tune the compression from

there. Proper compression allows the tire to track the

ground over consecutive bumps. Compression that is set

too slow will pack-up (feel harsh over consecutive bumps)

while compression that is set too fast causes the shock to

bottom out harshly. If the shock is bottoming out, turn the

adjuster one click at a time until the bottom out stops.

Note: Adjusters should never be forced completely “Fast”

or “Sl

w”; always leave one click of adjustment in either

direction.
