Rebound Damping Adjustment:
The advice in section 3.3 about the fork rebound damping adjustments also applies to the rear shock.
Platform Damping Adjustment:
The rear Shock fitted to your Whyte bike may have a “platform” facility to adjust the slow speed compression damping, e.g.
Fox “3pos w/Adj” or SRAM RockShox “Motion Control”. Please refer to the relevant shock manufactures technical information to
learn how to adjust these features.
Please note, that the Whyte rear suspension systems have been designed not to rely on excessive low speed compression
damping to obtain efficient pedalling performance, and turning on too much low speed damping on the rear shock will
compromise the suspensions sensitivity to small bump absorption and traction
Warning! For Whyte Bikes fitted with wireless suspension control systems, please refer to the manufacturers
instructions at all times.
3.5: SUSPENSION TUNING LOG
Record your best suspension settings in the table below, to restore them if necessary, e.g. after dealer servicing of the
suspension or if a friend has borrowed your bike
4.0: SAFETY
IMPORTANT: The following are intended to be advisory notes on the safe use of your Whyte bike. You should also read
thoroughly the latest version of the ‘Whyte General Instruction Manual’ also supplied with your new bike. If at any stage
you are uncertain about the safety or safe operation of the bike as a whole, or any specific component, then DO NOT RIDE
YOUR WHYTE and instead please consult the specific component manufacturers instruction manual or your Whyte Dealer for
advice.
Maximum Weight Limit for Whyte Suspension Bikes: 18st. / 114kg (including the rider’s equipment.)
WARNING: As is the case with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to wear and high stresses. Different
materials and components may react to wear and stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has
been exceeded, it may fail suddenly causing possible injury to the rider. Any form of crack, scratches and decolouring in
highly stresses areas are showing that the component has exhausted its life time and has to be replaced. If you are in
any doubt about one or more components on your Whyte DO NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE. Consult the specific component
manufacturers literature, or take your bike to your local Whyte Dealer.
Designed for the following use:
Whyte electric suspension bicycles have been designed, tested and comply with ISO 4210-2 & EN-15194-2017
Safety Standards, for typical mountain biking use.
