2.2 Hydraulic adjustments
The Dizzy offers suspension adjustments in rebound through a knob and in compression through a lever.
Rebound adjustment
is done by rotating the red knob that can be found
at the bottom of the right fork leg.
The number of clicks is counted from the fully closed position while
unscrewing the knob.
Harder = tighten (close) / Softer = loosen (open)
Compression adjustment
is done by the position of the red lever at the
top of the right fork leg. This lever has three positions. The total possible lever movement is 180°; however, the start position
may be offset by an angle of about 20° from vertical, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 : Pedaling position H
Figure 2 : Intermediate position M
Figure 3 : Comfort position S
The three positions
are identified as S (soft), M (medium), and H (hard). The two extremes, S and H are reached at the
fully open and fully closed positions of the lever. The M position is the click when moving between the S and H position, for fast
and intuitive adjustment on the fly.

adjustments are done based on both the low speed and high speed rate curves.
Therefore, by opting for one of the three positions, the rider is not only changing the low speed compression
performance of the fork, but actually changing the LS and HS curve completely. You can see in the graph below that the

cisely defined to achieve the desired performance.
Thus, a single lever controls all 3 of the settings on the 3-‐way adjustable Deville (rebound, low-‐speed and high-‐speed
compression).
