High Speed Compression Damping Adjustment –
controls high velocity rear shock compressions and the response to sharp edge
bumps and big hit conditions. The faster the rear shock is compressing, the more
impact this adjuster has. This adjuster has its greatest impact at mid to 3/4 stroke,
when shaft velocities are at the highest. This is usually the last adjustment made to
fine-tune the rear shock. As a general rule, firmer (clockwise) adjustments will
provide more high-speed (velocity) bottoming resistance and allow for larger SPV
volume settings. The optimal performance will be achieved by balancing this
adjustment with the SPV volume adjuster setting.
