3. Rush RC Damper – How It Works
The Rush RC damper is designed for simplicity and easy adjustments, offering riders more control over their suspension setup.
✔ Compression Tuning: Adjusts how the fork responds to impacts and terrain changes.
-
Too soft? Fork dives under braking or bottoms out easily.
-
Too firm? Small bumps feel harsh, reducing traction.
-
Pro Tip: Start mid-range and fine-tune based on riding conditions.
✔ Rebound Adjustment: Controls how quickly the fork returns after compression.
-
Too fast? The fork feels bouncy and unstable.
-
Too slow? The fork packs down on repeated hits.

4. Rebound Tuning – Keeping the Ride Balanced
Rebound tuning is essential to maintaining traction and control on technical trails.
✔ Too Fast? The fork feels jittery and unstable over rough terrain.
✔ Too Slow? The fork doesn't return quickly enough, making it feel sluggish.
🛠 Setup Tip:
-
Start in the middle of the rebound range.
-
Fine-tune based on terrain and personal preference.
