Compression damping reduces the speed of compression. Rebound damping reduces the speed of extension. Negative suspension travel means the distance by which the suspension fork or the shock compresses when the rider assumes a customary sitting position while the bicycle is stationary. This small shift lever on the handlebars is used to lock the fork or damper and therefore adjust the riding behaviour to suit the terrain. This term describes locking the fork/damper.
