SAG SETTING
To achieve the best performance from your FOX suspension, you will need to attain your proper sag
setting. Sag is the amount your suspension compresses under your weight and riding gear. Sag should be
set to 30% of total shock travel. Consult your bicycle manufacturer’s instructions for recommendations
about setting sag Watch the sag setup video at ridefox.com/sagsetup.
1. Measure the eye-to-eye distance on your bike’s shock mounts.
2. With the help of a friend, sit on the bike in your normal riding position with your normal riding gear
and measure eye-to-eye distance again. The dierence between the two measurements is sag.
3. There are nine detent clicks per revolution of the preload adjuster. After installing the coil spring, set
the preload adjuster to where it just contacts the coil spring, then turn it clockwise a minimum of
8 clicks.
4. To increase sag, turn the preload adjuster counter-clockwise. If you cannot achieve 30% sag with the
minimum of 8 clicks of preload, you will need to obtain a lower rate spring.
5. To decrease sag, turn the preload adjuster clockwise no more than 26 clicks after setting the preload
adjuster to where is just contacts the coil spring. If you cannot achieve 30% with the maximum of
26 clicks of preload, you will need to obtain a higher rate spring.
