DANGER!
ADJUSTING THE REAR SUSPENSION
Your Riese & Müller E-bike is equipped with
a low maintenance rear suspension system
(excluding blueLABEL). The shock contains
either an air chamber or a combination
of steel spring and oil hydraulic damping.
To tune the air suspension, please refer to
the separately included manual from the
suspension manufacturer.
REAR SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT
With steel spring shocks, the correct spring
must be chosen for the desired ride char
-
acteristics. Furthermore you can adjust the
spring preload and damping.
The standard spring is designed for 90 % of
all applications. If the bike sinks dramatically
when you mount it or bounces when hitting
small bumps, you need a stier spring. If the
bike sinks only a little when you mount it
and hardly reacts to bumps, then you need
a softer spring. Riese & Müller oers softer
and stier springs in order to meet specific
customer requirements.
The adjustment ring of some E-bike models
is fitted with holes and can easily be ad
-
justed by a 3 mm Allen key.
If you do not have the special
knowledge or the special tools
for this work, you must contact
your dealer.
