WHAT IS THE CS.1 DAMPER?
The Pademelon CS.1 is a compact, hydraulic rotary vane damper housed entirely within your fork's steerer tube. It replaces your standard star nut and top cap to integrate cleanly with your cockpit. The unit links to a dedicated bracket on your frame, creating a direct connection that effectively controls steering movements.
POSITION SENSITIVE
The CS.1 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 maneuverability in tight corners without resistance. As the bars return to centre, damping or resistance is removed to enable precise control and ensures your front wheel remains on its desired course.
ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT
The Pademelon CS.1 steering damper provides a wide range of adjustment to control unwanted front wheel movement. The top-mounted adjuster knob lets you easily add or remove damping on-the-fly. You can go from no resistance to a powerful level of support with just a few rotations, allowing you to customize your settings for any trail.
