How a Steering Damper Works | Offroad Engineered

[@timothyer2447]

Awesome animations! I initially thought the adjustment mechanism for the sweep adjustment was similar to the base or high speed valves, where I could adjust between settings (say if I wanted 70 or 80 degrees). I see now this isn't the case, given the discrete number of holes. Much appreciated!

Really love the animations you created. This finally made it fully understandable how this unit works. Very good!

[@StepstoPodium]

Thank you so much man, I really appreciate it 🙂🙌

[@HannyDart]

very interesting! super easy to understand graphics! Still waiting for a lightweight steering damper for mountainbikes to prevent jack-knifing :)

[@StepstoPodium]

Thank you very much! 😄 Well, I'm sure it's just a matter of time until someone figures that out 😆

Canyon has the K.I.S. damper on their Spectral.

Really nice and clear animation! Now I really understand how it's work. Thanks!!!

[@StepstoPodium]

You just made all the hours behind the video worth it! 🙌🙏 Thank you 🙂

[@emilianoalvarez8243]

Siempre excelentes tus videos!

[@StepstoPodium]

Muchissimas gracias Emiliano! 😄🙌

Yo tengo uno de esos usando lo en mi moto y en una de las indicaciones q diste yo la uso asi y me ha ido muy bien con el 👌👌

[@rethinking-h8k]

I've going through your videos, graet stuff. Thanks. I have a question, what makes the twechey filling of my off road bike, on the highway? It's simple the light weight ? Or something in the basic geometry? Is it possible to solve it simple by tuning the suspension different? Thanks

[@StepstoPodium]

thank you! It might be from geometry and/or suspension setup. But to help you further I would have to have the bike/suspensions to understand the setup....

[@Reiwadatschi]

So the base valve ist "closed" (more damping) good for sand (fast sand) or fast onroad and open (less damping) better for rocks and technical parts ? And the high speed valve is more like a emergency safety when hitting something big ?

[@StepstoPodium]

Exaaaaactlyy! 😄👌

[@Paulo-pi8sn]

Os teus videos sao muito bons. Parabens!

[@StepstoPodium]

Muito obrigado Paulo! 🙌😄

Quick question about these type of dampers, if you accidentally open the screw and some oils spills out, a very small amount, do you damage it or not ? Do you need to remove the air from inside the oil reservoir ?

[@StepstoPodium]

Depends on the amount of oil and use afterwards. No, you should leave a small amount of air to compensate for oil expansion when it gets really hot :)

[@GreeceGameVisionJimilito]

@StepstoPodium 4 drops of oil got spit out when I accidentally opened the release screw

[@juancarlospaniagua316]

Do you have to re-adjust your damping after every ride or is it a one time adjust after you install it?

[@StepstoPodium]

One time :)

[@jackyhong711]

Hi step to podium, I have to admit I'm slow learner. Do you have any pdf data sheet for this scotts damping setting adjustment? I have this damper on my ducati and only ride on flat asphalt twistie. thanks in advance

[@StepstoPodium]

sorry, I don't... try reaching out to Scotts to see if they have something! :)

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Speed wobble is my worst nightmare that occured a couple of time. 😅 It's hell

[@robh3267]

I ran a Scotts for a few years and figured out that unless you are racing flat out high speed desert stuff they provide no real advantage and in some cases can even hinder performance, I raced enduro's for years and mainly ride mountain trail type terrain and for that a stabilizer is an absolute waste of money, that's why you don't see any top hard enduro riders using them, take that high cost of a stabilizer setup and put it into your suspension, you'll get way more bang for your buck.

Gracias

[@StepstoPodium]

A ti!

[@littlereptilian7580]

Nice animation but i think you need to mirror it because its the wrong way ? If i am not wrong.
