FRONT SUSPENSION TRAVEL & SAG GUIDE
To determine your bike’s front suspension travel adjustments and recommended settings,
please refer to the fork manufacturer’s technical manual.
A suspension fork is effective at both absorbing bump forces and helping the tire to track the
ground for improved traction and braking control.
When in active mode, a fork will rely on sag to keep the front tire in better contact with the
ground during braking. The chart on page 26 should be used as a general guideline.
AIR SPRUNG FORKS
As a general guide, pump the main chamber (main spring) to a psi equal to 70% of your body
weight. Ride off a curb or similar object. If there is little or no movement from the fork, de-
crease psi in 10-psi increments until desired movement is achieved. If the fork bottoms out,
increase the psi in 10-psi increments until desired movement is achieved.
