When they say quick adjust, is that equivalent to the fox qs3?

Or still counting clicks?

Where does it say quick adjust? Couldnt find any of that in the sales pitch. Pretty sure, you still are clicking.

QS3 is a click shock as well like all shocks, the qs3 just does not need tools for the compression setting but it only has three positions, unlike other shocks.

Higher end KYB need a wrench and a screwdriver, lower end have a plastic nob.

You dont need a tool for these one either. Turn the red knob. They are easy to adjust, just as advertised...

How many clicks are they?


on the KYB 36s 22 clicks. To go between high and low takes 2 seconds though. Turn it tell its closed, or turn it tell its open. Or any thing inbetween to fine tune it.

Yeah I had a few sets of the qs3's now and I really like them.

I set it firm for riding the trail.
And then softer according to up top conditions.

And the ability to change the rear shock from soft to lock is a game changer.
Two different skids in a couple clicks.

I can't see me changing 20clicks on 4 different shocks.
Or anyone waiting for me to do that lol.

Mine are different. They have High and Low speed compression settings plus rebound. You have to know what you are doing to set them up...

Yes but how often per ride do you find you adjust them?
Or is it such a pain in the ass that you just leave it alone?
