FORK AND SHOCK ADJUSTEMENT
SUSPENSION ADJUSTEMENT
Your bicycle will be delivered with the suspension manufacturer’s user
guide, we suggest that you read it carefully, and refer to it if you have the
slightest doubt. Before making any adjustment on your suspensions, make
sure that the compression adjustment is completely liberated. This means
there should not be any propedal, lockout or any other system activated. If
this is not done, the suspension compression values would be inaccurate.
To adjust the fork, please refer to the manufacturers’ user manual delivered
with the bicycle.
If your bike is mounted with an air suspension you can watch this tutorial by

FORK
SHOCK
SAG ADJUSTEMENT
All of our full-suspension bicycles are equipped with our proprietary
suspension system, referred to as Contact System. This system has been
put in place so that the shock compresses when you sit on the bike, leading
to fantastic grip and control. To make it easier to understand, it is adjusted
by measuring the axle-to-axle distance of the rear shock with the rider
sitting on the bicycle. Adjustment is made as follows:
• Sit on your bike normally, as if you were riding, with hands on the
handlebars and feet on the pedals. It is easier to do this while leaning
against something sturdy.
• While remaining on the bike get a friend to measure the axle-to-axle
distance “a” of the rear shock (g. 25). With this measurement taken,
refer to the Contact System adjustment table that can be found with the
technical spec sheet of your bike, to compare the measured values with
the recommended ones. You can nd these tables by downloading our
TECHBOOK here.
• If the values don’t correspond to the ones in the table then it is necessary
to adjust the spring preload of your rear shock. This can be done either with
a shock pump for an air shock, or by switching the spring for coil shocks.
