Mastering Mountain Bike Suspension: Understanding Compression and Rebound

In this video I will explain the movements that the mountain bike suspensions are doing, and what are the knobs that you have on your suspensions and how they are affecting your riding/performance. Tuning your rebound and compression is a key factor if you want to obtain the maximum from your fork or rear shock.

Rebound and Compression explained! Subscribe to the channel for the adjustments tutorial 😉

Informative video. For most riders, the basic Fox Fit4 damper for example is good enough (actually an amazing damper), whereas the Grip2 damper with more adjustability take quite a bit of setting up. I spent ages tweaking and hating my Fox Factory 38's before i finally got them dialled in, the Fit4 damper on the other hand, once the sag and rebound was set it felt amazing on the first ride.

Great video Oreste, it was awesome to watch, a well adjusted and working suspension is one of the most important things on a bike. Ride on and have a great week buddy🤙

Im thinking if i have the LSC fully closed and the HSC halfway im thinking that would be an okay start for pumptracks and jumps? So when pumping the fork doesnt compress as easy. Thanks

I advise you to do your homework better because this is another movie that will confuse people. The LSC is not only responsible for what happens in the initial part of the jump, and the HSC in the middle. I'm not even mentioning that both of these regulations have a huge impact on each other. If it were as you say, then going down on the trail where we already have about 30% of the sag or more, LSC would no longer work because we are already 1/3 of the jump long ago. another thing is that all regulations affect each other, changing something in Rebound will affect Compression and vice versa.
