3.6 Adjusting the suspension elements
Adjusting the spring stiffness of air suspension elements
1. Remove the valve cap of the rear shock / suspension fork.
2. Screw on a shock pump and inflate the rear shock / suspension fork to the desired pressure.
→ Observe the operating instructions of the shock pump.
→ We recommend a SAG* of 15% - 20% on the suspension fork and 20% - 30% on the rear shock.
Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions of the suspension elements on air pressure. The
corresponding manuals are included.
3. Remove the shock pump and screw the valve cap onto the valve.
→ The rear shock won’t leak air when removing the pump.
Adjusting the damping
With most rear shocks, the compression (=damping of the compression movement) and the rebound (=damping of the
rebound movement) can be adjusted. Please use the manufacturer's specifications as an orientation for the settings.
*The air pressure of your suspension elements is adjusted via the so-called SAG (negative suspension travel).
The SAG is the amount by which the shock and suspension fork compress under the rider's own weight.
To determine the SAG, sit on the bike with your complete cycling gear (helmet, backpack, shoes, etc.) and in a
normal riding position.
