IDYLLE Air & IDYLLE
IDYLLE Air and IDYLLE comes with 2 hydraulics adjustments: compression and rebound
Tuning tips :
When it comes down to hydraulic setting there is no such thing as a magical formula, many factors have to be taken
into account (bike balance, spring rate, geometry of the bike…).Having said, that you can draw conclusions from
what follows :
- Excessive diving of the bike upon braking : harden the compression.
- Often bottom out: harden the compression.
- Feeling harsh on roots or square edges : soften the compression
- Uncomfortable, arms pain : soften the rebound.
- The forks don’t spring back and stay low after succession of bumps : soften the rebound.
- Front too high (in dynamic situation) : harden the rebound.
Whenever you are far from the standard settings (factory settings) It’s always better to consider what influences
the performance of the forks. Proceed step by step, one setting at a time by hardening or softening few click each
time. If you ever get lost while you are setting up the forks, always go back to its original settings.
