REBOUND DHX RC4

Rebound damping controls how quickly the

suspension returns after being compressed and

gives you a predictable and controlled ride, while

maintaining traction.

Assessing rebound by simply pushing on the

handle bars or seat does not indicate the

performance of the system in a dynamic

environment. Save your judgment of rebound

performance for a test section of trail.

Slower rebound

Faster rebound

REBOUND TOO FAST

REBOUND TOO SLOW

If rebound is too fast the bike will be

unstable while pedaling and riding

through shallow bumps. The unsettling

effect is noticed as your body weight is

pitched over the bike.

If rebound is too slow, there will be

insufficient recovery between bumps

to ensure successive bumps are

absorbed. Harshness will be noticed

on longer rough sections.

REBOUND DHX RC4

Low-speed compression (LSC) damping refers to

the damper force generated at low damper shaft

speeds.

LSC damping provides resistance to the suspension

being compressed slowly and with relatively low

force. This relates to pedalling forces, changes in

mass distribution, shallow and small bumps.

Firmer LSC

Softer LSC

LSC TOO SOFT

LSC TOO FIRM

Pedaling, changes in mass distribution,

small and shallow bumps will cause

excessive compression. A lack of

support is noticed as the suspension

uses excessive travel with minimal input.

Small bump sensitivity and traction will

be compromised. A harsh ride and

loss of traction is noticed over loose

and rough terrain.

The lockout function serves the purpose of

providing a lockout firm platform when activated.

The threshold adjuster alters the lockout

breakaway point, varying the force required to

compress the fork when the lockout lever is

activated.

Higher threshold

THRESHOLD

Use on ascents, smooth terrain and

trails that require a firm platform for

pedaling efficiency.
