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

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.
