INTRODUCTION
FIT RLC Equipped Performance and reliability are the hallmarks of the FIT™ RLC damper, making it the damper of choice in the lightweight 32, 34 and 36 product lines. The completely sealed expanding bladder design offers contamination and fade free performance in a light weight package, for worry-free front-end control.
The wide, usable range of damper adjustment provides user friendly adaptability to riding environments. The ergonomic lockout lever is conveniently positioned to facilitate ease of use and offers a lockout firm platform when activated.

REBOUND REBOUND DHX RC4 Rebound damping controls how quickly the suspension returns after being compressed and gives you a predictable and controlled ride, while maintaining traction.
Assessing rebound by simply pushing on the handle bars or seat does not indicate the performance of the system in a dynamic environment. Save your judgment of rebound performance for a test section of trail.
REBOUND TOO FAST If rebound is too fast the bike will be unstable while pedaling and riding through shallow bumps. The unsettling effect is noticed as your body weight is pitched over the bike.
REBOUND TOO SLOW If rebound is too slow, there will be insufficient recovery between bumps to ensure successive bumps are absorbed. Harshness will be noticed on longer rough sections.

LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION REBOUND DHX RC4 Low-speed compression (LSC) damping refers to the damper force generated at low damper shaft speeds.
LSC damping provides resistance to the suspension being compressed slowly and with relatively low force. This relates to pedalling forces, changes in mass distribution, shallow and small bumps.
LSC TOO SOFT Pedaling, changes in mass distribution, small and shallow bumps will cause excessive compression. A lack of support is noticed as the suspension uses excessive travel with minimal input.
LSC TOO FIRM Small bump sensitivity and traction will be compromised. A harsh ride and loss of traction is noticed over loose and rough terrain.

LOCKOUT REBOUND DHX RC4 The lockout function serves the purpose of providing a lockout firm platform when activated.
The threshold adjuster alters the lockout breakaway point, varying the force required to compress the fork when the lockout lever is activated.
LOCKOUT Use on ascents, smooth terrain and trails that require a firm platform for pedaling efficiency.
THRESHOLD Use the threshold adjuster to increase or decrease the lockout platform.
