Compression damping of shock absorber (XC-W, EXC)
The compression damping (during compression) can be adjusted for these
shock absorbers (Mono Compression Control).
The degree of damping can be adjusted by turning adjusting screw [1] with
a screwdriver. Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the damping, turn-
ing in a counterclockwise direction will decrease the damping.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:
– turn the adjusting screw clockwise to the stop.
– then turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise, counting the number of
clicks that corresponds to the respective type of shock absorber.
WP 12187C04 . . . . . . . 15 clicks
WP 12187C06 . . . . . . . 15 clicks
The damping unit of the shock absorber is filled with high-compression nitro-
gen. Never try to take the shock absorber apart or to do any maintenance work
yourself. Severe injuries could be the result.
Never unscrew the black screw connection [2] (24mm).
Rebound damping of shock absorber
By using the adjusting screw [3], the degree of damping of the rebound can
be adjusted. Turn the knob clockwise to increase damping, turn it counter-
clockwise to reduce damping during rebounding.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:
– turn the adjusting screw clockwise to the stop.
– then turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise, counting the number of
clicks that corresponds to the respective type of shock absorber.
WP 12187C04 . . . . . . . 25 clicks WP 12187C28 . . . . . . . 24 clicks
WP 12187C06 . . . . . . . 25 clicks WP 12187C29 . . . . . . . .24 clicks
The damping unit of the shock absorber is filled with high-compression nitro-
gen. Never try to take the shock absorber apart or to do any maintenance work
yourself. Severe injuries could be the result.
