MEGAWATT BIKE GUIDE 2022 | 4 9
Section 5 - Suspension set-up
To get the most out of your Megawatt you will need to set-up and maintain your suspension.
Suspension maintenance is specialist work, we recommend you use ofcial service centers
and service intervals are detailed in the manufacture’s user guides. Before your rst ride, the
suspension will need adjusted. The recommended sag for the Megawatt is 30-35%, seated with
riding kit on. You will need a shock pump to set your sag. The rebound and compression settings
are subjective to terrain, riding style and rider preference. Adjust the settings as you ride to nd
what works best for you.
Before setting up your suspension, please read the full manual for your shock and fork. FOX
provides a 4-digit Tune code or a QR code on their forks and shocks. This will bring up all specic
tuning and service guides on the FOX website. SRAM includes set-up guides for forks and shocks
in one document. Rockshox service documents are model specic and linked below.
Remember when setting your rear shock, the lock-out is in the off position.
1. Always set your sag when the bike is on a
level surface and ensure you have something
to steady yourself with or a person to hold the
handlebars while you sit on the bike.
2. Always set your sag before rebound and compression is adjusted.
Please make incremental suspension set-up changes to ensure the bike riding characteristics are
