LOCK-OUT SYSTEMS

The „Lock-Out" function of SR SUNTOUR rear shock is intended to reduce teetering during rides
out of saddle or uphill riding. The rear shock will not be locked 100%. Your rear shock is equiped
with a so called „Anti-Blow-Off-System". This system will protect you in case you have forgotten to
unlock the rear shock while riding in rough terrain.
Nevertheless, you should never set your rear shock to the „Lock-Out-Mode" while
riding in rough terrain, going down hill or jumping. This implies the risk that the
shock will get damaged when it's being compressed under high load. This could
also result into an accident, injuries or even death of the rider.

PLATFORM SYSTEM
Your RS 11 EPICON AM LODP rear shock is equipped with an active, pre-set platform system which
controls the low speed compression. It was developed to avoid teetering while uphill climbs and
sprinting actions. The platform is pre-set and cannot be adjusted. Please note that this feature
does not replace the lock out function of your rear shock.

COMPRESSION ADJUST

The compression damping adjust function of your SR Suntour rear shocks allows you to tune your
shock according to your personal preferences and the terrain you are riding on. This function con-
trols the speed of your rear shock while being compressed.
Choosing a fast/soft set up will bring maximum wheel traction and an sensitve bump compliance.
As said before, in this mode your rear shock will react pretty sensitive/fast to every bump. Therefo-
re you should choose this setting if you are riding on a terrain with a lot of small and fast bumps.
You should not choose this setting on a terrain with big bumps and square edge hits because it
emplies the risk your rear shock is going to bottom out very often.
If you are going to ride on a terrain with big bumps and square edge hits you should choose a
slow/firm set up. In this mode your rear shock will move slower while being compressed. There-
fore it will reduce bottom outs and provides maximum bump absorption. Using this mode on a
terrain with small and fast bumps will bring bad traction to your bike. Additionally your rear shock
will not use it's full travel if being set to the slow/firm on fast terrain.
