Understanding RFLoXa Clickers

1. Overview

This article explains how RFLoXa compression and rebound clickers work, what each adjustment does, and how to properly tune your suspension for different riding styles and terrain.

By the end, you'll understand how to make confident and effective adjustments to get the most performance out of your RFLoXa fork.

2. Key Details or Product Summary

RFLoXa forks feature two primary external adjustments:

Compression Clicker (Top of Fork)
Controls how the fork resists compression — affects braking stability, jump faces, and harsh impacts.

Rebound Clicker (Bottom of Fork)
Controls how quickly the fork extends back after being compressed — affects cornering traction, whoops, and ride comfort.

RFLoXa clickers use a detent-based system, allowing precise, consistent tuning with each “click.”

3. In-Depth Explanation or Comparison

RFLoXa forks use a precision inverted oil-spring damping system designed for electric dirt bikes and downhill applications.
These forks use:

A coil spring for support
Hydraulic damping circuits for control
External clickers for tuning

Riders can independently adjust high-speed compression, low-speed compression, rebound, and spring preload, allowing the suspension to be dialed in for rider weight, terrain, and riding style.

3.2 Compression Damping

RFLoXa forks offer multi-stage compression damping, split into:

Low-Speed Compression (LSC)

Controls slow chassis movements:

Brake dive
Lean angle support
Body weight shifts
G-outs

Turn IN (clockwise): firmer, more support
Turn OUT (counterclockwise): softer, more comfort

High-Speed Compression (HSC)

Controls fast, sharp impacts:

Rocks, roots, chop
Jump takeoffs
Harsh landings
Square-edge hits

Turn IN: more resistance (firmer)
Turn OUT: more absorption (plusher)

These two circuits let you tune comfort and stability separately.

3.3 Rebound Damping

Rebound controls how quickly the fork extends after being compressed.

Too fast → front end feels springy or unstable
Too slow → packing down in whoops or long corners

Turn IN (slower rebound): more stability
Turn OUT (faster rebound): quicker reset, more lively feel

Rebound is crucial for traction during cornering, singletrack, and technical terrain.

3.4 Spring Preload

Preload determines how much initial tension is applied to the coil spring.

More preload: firmer initial feel, reduced sag
Less preload: softer initial feel, increased sag

Preload does not change spring rate — it only changes how quickly the fork enters the travel.

RFLoXa preload adjusters offer ~6–10 mm of usable adjustment depending on model.

3.5 How These Adjustments Work Together

The fork’s performance relies on finding a balance:

Too much compression + too little rebound → harsh but bouncy
Too little compression + too much rebound → diving and slow reset
Correct balance → traction, comfort, and stability

RFLoXa gives riders fine control across all three major damping circuits plus preload.

4. Specifications or Technical Data (Optional)

5. Insights, Notes & Recommendations

⚙️ Technical Insight

RFLoXa’s multi-stage damping system (HSC, LSC, and Rebound) allows riders to fine-tune comfort and performance independently.
Unlike stock forks found on most SurRon, Talaria, and light e-moto platforms, RFLoXa forks use:

37 mm stanchions for improved rigidity
AL6061-T6 / AL7075-T6 components for strength and reduced flex
55CRSi spring wire for consistent spring rate under heat and load
Independent high-speed and low-speed compression circuits to improve performance on both big hits and small chatter

The result is dramatically improved cornering stability, braking support, and high-speed control.

🧭 Recommended Use

RFLoXa forks are ideal for riders who:

Ride singletrack, enduro, desert, and mixed terrain
Want an upgrade from soft, under-damped OEM forks
Perform larger jumps or ride MX-style tracks
Want independent tuning for high-speed vs low-speed impacts
Need improved steering precision and stiffness

Travel options (203 mm or 228 mm) make it easy to match fork performance to your riding style:

203 mm: Best for MX, jump faces, tighter handling, and maintaining OEM geometry
228 mm: Ideal for bigger hits, downhill-style riding, and smoothing out long technical descents

💬 Customer Feedback Summary

Riders consistently report:

Massive improvement in cornering stability
Reduced brake dive with proper LSC adjustment
Better high-speed confidence due to stronger stanchions
Plusher feel over roots, rocks, and chop
Dramatically reduced arm pump on long rides
Better tracking and traction under braking and acceleration

Most riders note the largest difference after properly aligning the fork and setting rebound.
