REBOUND ADJUSTMENT
The rebound adjustment controls the speed at which the shock absorbers return to their fully extended position after being compressed. Although the rebound valving is customized for your riding type, sometimes you might need to further adjust the rebound. Since not all riding conditions or tracks are the same, the rider will want to adapt the rebound damping to match them.
By adjusting the rebound properly, the rear wheel can stay on the ground as much as possible to get maximum traction and reduce unwanted weight transfers that cn affect the handling. Elka Suspension offers two types of rebound adjusters (depending on vehicle model): an easy to use twisting knob and a compact adjuster that can be set with a flat screwdriver, both of which have detented clicks.
Riders looking for more versatile suspension will greatly benefit from the rebound adjustment as it allows optimal performance, comfort and traction by helping to keep the wheels on the ground. Racers, on the other hand, really need this adjustment to be able to adapt to different tracks.
HOW TO USE IT:
- Elka Suspension uses 2 types of rebound adjusters. The knob type (left) can be turned without tools. The compact type (right) requires a flat screwdriver to be turned
- Screw in/up to increase the damping and make the rebound slower (turn clockwise).
- Unscrew out/down to reduce the damping making the rebound faster (turn counter-clockwise)
