How to Lock Rear Suspension on Your Mountain Bike for Optimal Performance and Control
To lock the rear suspension on a mountain bike, locate the lockout switch or lever on the suspension system which is usually located on the handlebars or the suspension itself. Flip the switch or push the lever towards the lockout position to lock the rear suspension. This helps to increase pedaling efficiency and prevent bouncing on smooth surfaces. Remember to switch back to the open suspension position when riding on rough terrain to allow the suspension to absorb impacts and provide better traction.
