CAUTION: When adjusting suspension settings please follow
the manufacturers instructions and guidance. Ensure you have
the required equipment and if you have any doubt contact a
Whyte retailer or qualied bike mechanic.
INFO: For Whyte bikes tted with wireless suspension control
systems, please refer to the manufacturers instructions at all
times.’
WARNING Always stop riding when making adjustments of any
kind to the bicycle.
Fork Set Up:
The front suspension fork tted to your Whyte bike will be pre-set
with the standard settings. Before riding, you may need to adjust these
settings. First is the sag setting on the fork. This is to ensure the forks
are set-up correctly for your own body weight, so the fork will perform
as intended. Whyte offer guidance for fork set-up but please consult
the fork manufacturers recommendations for specic rider weights and
pressures.
INFO: Please refer to the relevant fork manufacture’s technical
information for further details and tuning recommendations.
Refer to the specication table on the website and then to the relevant
fork manufacturers set up instructions to nd how to adjust the air
spring pressure in the fork. Using a shock pump, either add or remove
air until sag is correctly set.

ReBound Dampening:
This adjustment ne-tunes the speed at which the wheel returns
to its normal ride height after hitting a bump. Refer to the relevant
manufacturers instructions to nd out how to adjust the rebound
damping. To demonstrate the effect of this function, turn the adjuster
to its slowest setting. Press down on the handlebars to compress the
forks, then release the load. The suspension recovers very slowly to its
original position.
Repeat the above with the adjuster turned to the fastest setting and
the difference will be seen immediately when the load is released. We
recommend the optimum setting is to adjust the rebound damping to
be as slow as possible, but not so slow that the normal ride height is
not recovered. On very rough terrain, if the bike becomes progressively
lower as more bumps are hit then the rebound damping is set too
slow. On the other hand if the bike feels choppy and not plush then the
rebound damping is too fast. A bit of trial and error is needed to get
the exact setting.
