SHOCK SETUP
Inspect your shock for any visible damage.
If oil is leaking or you notice any damage to
the surfaces or seals, please contact the Fox
Racing Shox service center for repair at 800.
FOX.SHOX or your local bike shop.
Shock set-up can uctuate greatly based on
the rider. The set-up guide is intended as a
base line to get the rider started. Experiment
with your settings to nd the set-up that
works best for you.
We recommend starting out with 30% sag,
which is 15mm of shock stroke. Your total
shock stroke is 51mm’s.
YETI TIPS TOOLS NEEDED
• Shock Pump
• Metric Tape Measure
01. AIR PRESSURE 02. SAG
The main air spring controls sag. For the SB5 to
ride properly it is important to setup the shock
with the correct amount of sag. The SB5 works
best with 15MM of measured sag. To increase
sag, reduce the main spring air pressure. To
reduce sag, increase the main spring air pressure.
Always cycle the shock at least 10 times after
any pressure adjustment to equalize the EVOL
chamber before measuring sag.
Once you have set your baseline air pressure and
cycled the shock you are ready to measure the
sag. To measure the sag slide the travel indicator
(O-Ring) up against the shock body. With a friend
supporting the bike and with the compression
set “open,” sit on the saddle and allow your
body weight to compress the shock. Once you
have compressed the shock, get o the bike
and measure the distance between the shock
body and the new position of the travel indicator
(O-Ring). This is your sag.
*All clicks are counted counter-clockwise, rotating from the
all the way “in” or clockwise dial position.

REBOUND 5-7 CLICKS*
COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT OPEN
QUICK START GUIDE
03. REBOUND 04. COMPRESSION
Rebound is adjusted using the red knob located
by the front shock mount. Clockwise will slow
the rebound, counter clockwise will speed it up.
Rebound needs to be tuned to rider preference
and air spring pressure. Too slow and the bike
will feel like it is not ready for the next bump. Too
fast and it will feel like the bike is bucking you o
after an impact.
Low-speed compression is adjusted in the
“open” position using the black tabs and has 3
positions. 1 is wide open, 3 is more rm. This
adjustment is subtle.
The blue lever has 3 positions: Open, Medium
and Firm. For our bikes, unless you are on
pavement on the way to the trail, we recommend
using the “open” setting. The Switch Innity
design will do the rest!
