How to measure and set your SAG?
Don’t forget that the SAG must be measured on flat ground, while in driving conditions, the
bike is on the slope, which reduces the "dynamic SAG" (in action).
Disengage the bump stop from the shock foot thanks to a flat screwdriver and slide the
bump stop until the contact with the rod guide.
Be carfull to not damage the shaft!
Sit on your bike (if possible dressed with your riding outfit) feet on the pedals - horizontal position,
and let the suspension compress under your weight.
Get off the bike without pushing on the suspension any more, extend the rear suspension to its full
travel by pulling up the saddle, and measure the distance between the bump stop and the rod guide.
This distance allows you to check the percentage of SAG.
The SYORS shock absorber for exclusive use in downhill mountain bike requires different spring preload
depending on the geometry of each bike on the market. To know the exactly preload to your spring according
to your bike and your weight, please refer to the "Chart list" available on our website www.bos-
suspension.com.
To convert the distance into percentage, refer to the table below:
