HIGH- AND LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT
Elka's High- & Low-Speed Compression adjustment is an internal cartridge with two distinct circuits that control the hydraulic resistance for both high-velocity and low-velocity oil displacement. This enables very advanced fine-tuning for different types of suspension movement that would otherwise require the rider to make a compromise between a more comfortable softer suspension and a high-performance harder suspension.
With this adjustment, the rider can have the suspension set to react differently for high-speed situations and low-speed situations at the same time so the shocks can react differently for riding situations that would otherwise require a compromise to be made between opposed optimal settings. Learning and understanding how to dial-in the High- & Low-Speed Compression adjustment might require a little time and effort, but it will reward the rider with a suspension that work wonders over any kind of terrain and obstacles.
HOW TO USE IT:
- The larger black knob controls the high-speed compression and the smaller gold-colored (or red) knob controls the low-speed compression
- Screw in to increase the damping and make the suspension harder (turn clockwise)
- Unscrew to reduce the damping making the suspension softer (turn counter-clockwise)
