SR Suntour AURON Owner's Manual - Adjusting Rebound Damping
8
ADJUSTING COMPrESSION DAMPING
Compression damping adjusts the compression speed of
the suspension fork.
A low-speed and a high-speed compression setting are
available (not available on all models).
Low-speed compression: Setting for slow impacts
(deep bumps/potholes)
High-speed compression: Setting for fast impacts
(small bumps/potholes at high frequency)
Turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise (less damping) to increase the compression speed of your
fork. Turn it clockwise (more damping) to reduce the compression speed.
ADJUSTING rEBOUND DAMPING
rebound damping allows you to adjust the speed with
which the fork rebounds after it was compressed.
You can distinguish between lowspeed- and highspeed-ad-
justment
Lowspeed-rebound: Adjustment for slow impulses
Highspeed-rebound: Adjustment for fast impulses
Turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise (- / less damping)
to increase the extension (rebound) speed of your fork. To
reduce the extension (rebound) speed, turn clockwise (+ /
more rebound).
To find the right rebound speed, turn the adjusting Lowspeed screw as far clockwise as possible
(slowest extension). Put your entire body weight on the suspension fork and let it rebound abruptly.
Now decrease the rebound gradually (fastest extension) and repeat this procedure until the suspen-
sion fork almost jumps when it rebounds.
recommendation: Adjust the rebound to the fastest possible configuration without causing a jum-
ping of the front wheel.
Warning: A too fast adjustment can cause uncontrolled jumping of the front wheel and a loss of
traction.
LOCK-OUT SYSTEMS
The "lock-out" function of the SR SUNTOUR forks prevents swinging up/dipping of the suspension fork
when riding standing up or riding uphill. The fork is not locked 100%. A couple of millimetres of the
suspension travel, the so-called “anti-blow-off system", remains. This system protects you when riding
in demanding terrain in case you forgot to unlock the fork.
!
But regardless, you should never switch your fork to "lock-out mode" when
riding in demanding terrain or when jumping. The fork may become damaged
when it is compressed under a high load. This can also lead to accidents and
injuries.
