The adjuster in this shock is a by pass on main valve. It act on both compression and rebound. But it has much more effect on rebound than compression.
Anyway it effect is limited for a small amount of oil passing by it small hole. So, again it effect is noticed only on small speed bumps.
In the future I see a GasGas TXT and a GasGas tpi...
Or....GasGas enduro line will fade off. (Replaced by red ktm) And they will keep the trials line.
Best scenario will we see gasgas: With money to invest in trials improvement and better quality and an enduro bike to help dealers business profitable.
If KTM choose to sell an orange TXT it will be the dead for most gasgas dealers.
Find someone to help you with trials techniques at first or a trials course. Trials has some hidden techiques and small detais that can be hard to learn alone.
If, in future we see one trials bike in each KTM dealer floor, It will be a big opportunity for our sport. (Hope they are better than regular ktm enduro riders)
I guess next generation gasgas EC will be only an red KTM.
My biggest concern is how small companies like ordonez (radiators) braktec, formula and many others will deal with this new gg. Killing these suppliers will put big stress on ktm competitors like beta and sherco.
If you measure the travel of any modern fork I have worked on then it can be seen that the this brings the slider very close to the bottom yoke. That gap is much less than needed to accommodate a concertina'd gaiter. Having always put gaiters on my bikes previously I was a bit annoyed, but not so much as to lose a good bit of the fork travel by fitting them.
Check caliper piston returning (*) them with fingers. It should be hard but same effort on all four.
* when returning brake calliper pistons for replacing pads or anything else, always clean pistons first. Or you will inject dirt into system.
* cut a small chamfrer on new pads. The idea here is ease disc placement when reinstalling wheels. This way you will not need to return calliper pistons every time you deal with wheel maintenance.

Short answer: it is a rebound low speed adjuster.
