Travel Adjustments
Totem and Lyrik User Manual
important: stop turning the u-turn adjuster knob after you’ve reached maximum travel. turning the knob past
this point may cause damage to the u-turn feature.
note: ensure the fork is compressed once after sitting for more than a day and in “open” position before
setting up travel adjustment.
Coil U-Turn Travel Adjust (Lyrik only)
U-Turn forks offer 45 mm of travel adjustment. To determine the travel on your fork, use the travel gradients
on the upper tube. Turning the U-turn adjuster knob counterclockwise increases travel. Each turn increases
or decreases the travel by 7.5 mm.
2-Step Air Travel Adjust
2-Step forks offer 45 mm of travel adjustment. To increase the travel on your fork, turn the 2-Step air knob
(top left knob on fork) counterclockwise. The fork will return to the maximum travel position. To reduce travel
on your fork, turn the 2-Step air knob clockwise, and compress the fork. The fork will reduce in travel by
45 mm. The reduced travel setting will have slightly lower bottom out force, therefore additional
compression damping may be desired.
Solo Air Travel Adjust (Totem only)
To change the travel of your fork you must perform a full service on your fork. To obtain service information or
instructions, visit our website at www.rockshox.com, www.sram.com or contact your local RockShox dealer or
distributor.
REBOUND DAMPING
External Rebound Adjustment
Rebound damping controls the speed at which a fork returns to its full extension following compression. Located
at the bottom of the right fork leg is the rebound adjuster knob. Turning the adjuster in the direction indicated by
the “rabbit” on the rebound speed decal decreases rebound damping, causing the fork to return to full extension
faster. Turning the adjuster in the direction indicated by the “turtle” increases rebound damping, slowing the
return of the fork to full extension. 14 clicks or 2 full turns of adjustment are available.
Excessive rebound damping will cause the fork to “pack up” over successive bumps, reducing travel and
causing the fork to bottom out. Set your fork to rebound as fast as possible without “topping out” or kicking
back. This allows your fork to follow the contours of the trail, maximizing stability, traction and control.

Compression Adjustment
Increased compression decreases fork movement. Compression adjustment can be used to help combat
brake dive and “squatting” under hard cornering.
Compression damping increases as the crown-mounted actuator rotates clockwise towards the ‘+’ sign.
Position the actuator anywhere within the adjustment range to suit the desired level of compression
damping.
note: the compression setting does not adversely effect your fork’s performance over high speed impacts.
MISSION CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
important: when storing a bicycle or fork upside-down or on its side, oil sealed in the upper tube can collect
above the mission control damper assembly. upon returning the bicycle/fork to a normal riding position, initial
performance of the mission control system may be less than optimal. to quickly return the fork to proper
performance, deactivate the floodgate and cycle the fork through its travel 10-20 times. for information on
deactivating the floodgate, keep reading!
The Mission Control Damping system allows riders to quickly adjust the feel and performance of their
suspension to match riding conditions. This system provides for wide-ranging control of compression and
rebound damping as well as adjustable Floodgate sensitivity. Proper setup of the Mission Control Damping
system provides a range of options for the ultimate in performance and control.

COMPRESSION DAMPING
External High and Low Speed Compression Adjustment
note: mission control offers adjustable “low speed” and “high speed” compression. speed refers to how fast
the suspension fork compresses through its travel, not how fast the rider is moving on the bicycle! increased
compression will make the fork feel “hard”, while decreased compression makes the fork feel “soft”.
Low Speed Compression
Low speed compression is tuned primarily for small bump feel and rider based inputs. This includes pedal
bob, weight shifts, and brake dive. Increased low speed compression will also cause the fork to sit higher in
the stroke under normal riding. This can help make the bike feel more stable.
Low Speed Compression Adjustment
Low speed compression is adjustable via the small silver knob on the top of the right fork leg. Sixteen
clicks or 4 full turns of adjustment are available. Turn the adjuster clockwise to increase low speed
compression. If the high speed adjuster begins turning, you have reached the max adjustment on low
speed compression.
High Speed Compression
High speed compression is tuned primarily for square edges or drop landings. Increased high speed
compression can help prevent bottom out on bigger impacts.
High Speed Compression Adjustment
High speed compression is adjustable via the large blue knob on the top of the right for leg. Twelve clicks or
3 turns of adjustment are available. Turn the adjuster clockwise to increase high speed compression. The
low speed adjuster will turn with the high speed adjuster. This is normal, and does not affect the low speed
compression setting.
Floodgate
With the Floodgate active, the Mission Control Damping system provides for efficient, bob free suspension.
The system allows for a small amount of controlled fork movement. This movement enables the front tire
to track the terrain without deflecting off obstacles, allowing for better traction and steering control when
compared to a complete lockout system.
note: when increasing high speed compression or activating the floodgate, the height of the adjusters will
change. always check for proper frame clearance by turning the handlebars 180 degrees. be sure there is at
least 2-3 mm clearance between the top of the adjuster and the bottom of the bicycle frame downtube.
Activating the Floodgate
To activate the Floodgate, depress the silver knob and turn clockwise 90 degrees. The knob will pop up and
into place, with 3-4 mm of knob clearance.
With the Floodgate deactivated, the Mission Control Damping system allows for maximum compliance and
fork movement. This provides ultimate control and comfort on even the roughest terrain.
Deactivating the Floodgate
To deactivate the Floodgate, depress the silver knob and turn counterclockwise 90 degrees. There
will be minimal clearance between the silver low speed compression adjuster and the blue high speed
compression adjuster.
Floodgate Adjustment
The rider can choose the point at which the Floodgate can ‘blow-off’ and become active to force inputs
such as bumps or rocks. This adjustment is made using the a 2.5 mm hex in the center of the Mission
Control compression adjusters. Two full turns of adjustment are available. Heavier riders may find better
performance with maximum Floodgate settings, while lighter riders may find minimum Floodgate settings
work best. Experiment with higher or lower Floodgate settings to optimize your fork for your riding style and
performance preferences.
tip: the rebound adjuster on the bottom right fork leg can be used to adjust internal floodgate models.
gently pull downward on the rebound adjuster for removal. don’t forget to re-install the adjuster after
use!
