Rebound Adjustment; Compression Adjustment / Suspension Blocking - Marzocchi Bomber Suspension Benutzerhandbuch

5.3.6.1 Rebound adjustment

Using the expansion adjuster located in the lower part of the
right fork leg, it is possible to control the fork rebound speed
following compression.
A correct adjustment of the rebound speed allows you to
have a stable bike whose wheel can properly react to
obstacles on the trail.
If the adjustment is too reactive, the forecarriage becomes
unstable and the mountain bike may swing. Conversely, a
rebound speed that is too slow makes overcoming multiple
obstacles diffi cult. This is because the suspension cannot
go back to a completely extended position between each
obstacle.
• By turning the adjuster clockwise, you increase the
hydraulic damping making the fork slower during the
rebound phase.
• By turning the adjuster counter-clockwise, you reduce the
hydraulic damping making the fork more reactive during
the rebound phase.

5.3.6.2 Compression adjustment / Suspension blocking

The adjuster located in the upper area has fi ve main
positions: (CL), (+), (AM), (-), and (DS). Thanks to these
5 positions, the rider can quickly obtain the best setting
according to the type of trail (see Table 13).
W !
ARNING
NEVER us the "CL" position while riding downhill as the
fork will not react properly when hitting obstacles, and
can result in a loss of control of the bicycle, an accident,
personal injury, or death.
DS
By turning the knob, you can adjust the compression
damping and obtain the best setting according to the type
of trail:
