PD Simplified: Motorcycle Suspension Explained | Part 3 | What is Rebound Damping

In the third episode of our series of videos simplifying motorcycle suspension, we talk about rebound damping. This is usually the most common adjustability on motorcycle suspension, usually the rear, next to preload. Rebound damping controls how the spring returns to its original length after a bump has been hit. It's crucial to how comfortable you feel on the motorcycle as well as the motorcycle's readiness to handle the next imperfection you have to deal with. Shumi's on it as usual!

If you have to choose. Adjustable preload and rebound Or Adjustable preload and compression?

[@Isabella-ie7bn]

I like this very much

[@scrumptiiousbandra4177]

As you already inspire many with simplifying autonomics, suggest a video on pros n cons of 2v vs 4v with combo of SOHC vs DOHC and what would be the best combo.... specially in the Sub 500cc category single cylinder engines.... I presume the best combo will allow for better engine breathability, efficiency, less vibes and probably higher cruising speeds, closer to that engines top speed....

[@kushal0105]

Shumi Sir, can we have this explained in a brief on-site as an extended practical tutorial on DIY suspension? Will serve much help. Really liked this entire series. Thanks.

[@rameezfaruk4995]

can u plz explain the difference between engine oil grades likes(10 w50, 20 w50) and can we use 10 w50 in our bikes instead of 20 w50 and will these grades in engine oil will makes any difference in pick of the bike.

[@saligramvishwanath1]

Can you also talk about advantages of Nitrox suspension v/s Oil Based suspension

[@shu_mar]

Gas charged suspension (what you call Nitrox) adds an inert gas like Nitrogen under pressure. This pressure usually prevents the oil in the suspension from boiling/bubbling (officially cavitation) and delays the degradation in performance under hard use

[@abhitsinha8813]

Please make a video on hydraulic clutches. It is worth the money to install....?

How does a manufacturer achieve different compression and rebound damping?

[@shu_mar]

They have adjustable suspension on their prototypes during development so they can change settings until they find the right one

[@sanketjain9320]

@@shu_mar I understand that. What I meant is, is a different compression and rebound damping possible on the same motorcycle? If yes, how? Considering the fluid and hardware is exactly the same.
