Just bought a canyon torque frx whip zone downhil bike and as the title says the forks are rebounding too fast for my liking. Yes I have turned the rebound adjuster to its slow posistion but stil to fast. Has any1 else had this problem?

Lack of oil maybe? have you opened them up to check?

They could be oversprung for your weight. If nothings broken / missing then heavier oil will slow the rebound down (and the compression).

Yep I had the same problem. I bought the forks second hand and the rebound adjuster turned, but didn't do anything. Turned out it had stiffened up.

I used a long 2.5mm allen key and a tiny bit of oil to loosen it up.

They were too hard also so changed from red spring to yellow and they feel much better but still too fast. Thanks will definitely look into that.
