TAME IMPERFECTION

REDUCES UNEXPECTED FRONT WHEEL MOVEMENT
The Pademelon steering damper helps stabilize the front wheel by minimizing unwanted movement caused by rocks, roots or even pedaling. These disruptions are significantly reduced by our advanced damper technology, requiring less energy to maintain your desired direction and improving your bike's overall tracking and stability.
POSITION SENSITIVE
The Pademelon CS.1 steering damper offers position-sensitive damping, delivering constant support across a 75-degree range where maximum damping assistance is most effective. Between 37.5 and 90 degrees this effect is intentionally absent, ensuring ease of manoeuver in tight corners without resistance. As the bars return to center, damping and resistance are removed to enable precise control, so your front wheel goes exactly where you want it to.
