DAMPING ON ROCKSHOX SUPER DELUXE
Rebound Damping on the RockShox Super Deluxe
• Rebound is set from the most open
(fully counter-clockwise) position.
• The rebound setting is determined by
the air pressure in the shock.
• Refer to the table on the right for
the suggested rebound setting. The
bold numbers in the chart refers
to how many clicks in (clockwise)
from the open setting the rebound
should be set. Clicks from the closed
position, are provided in the table in
parentheses.
Rotate counter-clockwise for
faster return after compression
Compression Damping on the RockShox Super Deluxe
Threshold Lever
• Some Super Deluxe shocks feature a two position lever that
allows for on-the-fly adjustment between fully open and firm
for climbing. For most riding conditions it is best to have the
lever open. As with other shocks, the firm setting is best
suited for long fire road climbs and smooth XC courses.
Low Speed Compression Adjuster
• Some Super Deluxe shocks feature a low speed compression adjust-
ment knob, which can be used to fine tune the low-speed compres-
sion damping for low speed scenarios like rider weight shifts, corner-
ing, or gradual bump impacts.
• This knob offers 5 clicks of adjustment. We recommend starting in
the middle. Turning the knob clockwise will increase low speed com-
pression damping, for a firmer feel. Turning the knob counter-clock-
wise will decrease low speed compression damping, for a softer feel.
High Speed Compression Adjuster
• Some Super Deluxe shocks feature a high speed compression adjust-
ment knob, which can be used to fine tune the high-speed compres-
sion damping for high speed scenarios like square edge bumps.
• This knob offers 5 clicks of adjustment. Turning the knob clockwise
will increase high speed compression damping. Turning the knob
counter-clockwise will decrease high speed compression damping.
• We recommend starting with this one click counter-clockwise from
the middle setting. If you are a very aggressive rider then rotating the
knob clockwise, will provide more high speed compression damping.
