Tuning Your Mountain Bike Suspension: An Introduction to Suspension Rebound and Set Up

Suspension rebound refers to the speed at which a mountain bike’s suspension returns to its original position after being compressed by an impact, such as a bump or a drop. Setting up the rebound is an important aspect of tuning your mountain bike suspension, as it can greatly impact the bike’s handling, stability, and comfort on the trails. The rebound can be adjusted by turning a dial or knob on the suspension unit, typically located near the shock or fork. The ideal rebound setting will depend on your weight, riding style, and the type of terrain you will be riding on. Experimenting with different rebound settings and finding the right balance between speed and control is key to getting the most out of your suspension and enjoying a smooth and stable ride.
