Rear shock
9.1.8
9.1.8.1 Rebound too fast
The rear shock rebounds too quickly, producing
a "pogo stick" effect or causing the bike to
bounce after the wheel hits a bump and lands on
the ground again. This impairs traction and
control due to the uncontrolled speed at which
the shock rebounds after compresion (blue line).

Troubleshooting, fault clearance and repair
Saddle and handlebars move upwards when
the wheel bounces back from the ground. The
rider's body weight may be shifted upwards and
forwards if the shock fully rebounds too quickly
(green line).
