Adjusting Compression Rebound (REVO-ARC)

The REVO-ARC introduces compression and rebound adjustment features for both piggyback and remote reservoir models. This adjustment employs an internal needle valve to control oil flow within the shock during the compression/rebound stroke, allowing you to finely tune the ride's softness or firmness for the riders’ preference.

Before making any fine-tuning compression adjustments, it's crucial to ensure you have set your sag properly. Refer to our "How to Set Sag on REVO ARCS" article for guidance.

The REVO-ARC offers a spectrum of adjustment settings for both the compression and rebound. Most of these settings are distinguished by an audible “click” noise. For either setting (rebound or compression) when the dial is turned all the way clockwise, this would force the needle valve to be in its most-closed position, thus restricting the flow of oil. This would slow down the flow of oil, thus slowing down the rebound/compression speed and making for a firmer ride.

In the inverse of this, turning the dial to all the way to the final counterclockwise click would cause the compression’s needle valve to be in its most-opened position, allowing for the most oil to flow through, speeding up the flow of oil as well as the rebound/compression speed.

We suggest starting with rebound/compression settings at 3-4 clicks out from fully closed (clockwise) for your initial test ride with the new REVO-ARCs. Then, adjust based on road conditions, riding configuration, or style by simply turning the dial. Maintain the same rebound/compression setting on both shocks equally.

Rebound/Compression adjustment is purely rider preference. One rider may prefer a fully clockwise position, while another favors a fully counterclockwise position. It's your role as the rider to experiment and determine your preferred position.

When adjusting compression or rebound settings, only adjust one setting between test rides, not both. This minimizes variables during adjustments.
