AUTOSAG AIR SHOCK SETUP
Camber FSR models are equipped with AUTOSAG, a unique new feature designed to simplify and speed up
the adjustment of air pressure. The AUTOSAG feature automatically determines the correct amount of sag, and
eliminates the need to refer to an air chart to determine the correct pressure based on rider weight. However, the
shock still requires compression and rebound adjustment based on type of terrain and rider weight. Please refer to
the rebound chart on page 13.
Air pressures, rebound and compression settings are suggested starting point recommendations
only. They should be adjusted according to the rider’s needs for each type of terrain to achieve
optimal performance. Shock air pressure can also be set up manually to rider preference.
STEP 1: SETTING AUTOSAG

1. Position the shock compression lever or knob (blue) to the full
open or off position
1
. Remove the positive air valve cap
(black) and the AUTOSAG valve cap (red).
2. Attach a high-pressure shock pump to the positive air valve

„
Inflate to the rider’s weight in pounds (lb) plus 50psi. For
kilograms, multiply by three (e.g. 75kg = 225psi).
CAUTION: Do not exceed 350psi before activating
the Autosag valve (this is a starting pressure only).
After the Autosag is activated, Fox recommends a
maximum working pressure of 300psi when riding.
3. Make sure the rider is wearing all gear that would normally be
worn on a ride (shoes, helmet, hydration pack if used, etc.).
Mount the bicycle, prop up against a wall, and sit in the saddle in
a normal riding position. Do
not set sag while riding.
4. Press the AUTOSAG valve
3
. Air will release as the
suspension settles into its pre-adjusted sag point. Make sure
all the air is out and release the valve.
5. Cycle the shock a few times
4
, then dismount the bicycle.
6. Do not depress the AUTOSAG valve again, otherwise the proper sag setting will be lost, and will require this procedure to be
repeated from step #2.
7. Put the positive air and AUTOSAG valve caps back on.
Rider weight in pounds (lb) plus the PSI (depending on model as described above) is the lowest
amount of pressure that should be in the shock before activating AUTOSAG. If the air pressure
is too low, the AUTOSAG button may let air out of the negative chamber, which would result in
incorrect sag.
Sag is measured as the distance between the o-ring and the shock body’s seal, after the rider’s
weight has been applied to the bike, with no bounce. When AUTOSAG is correctly set, sag should
measure approximately (20-30% of stroke, depending on riding/terrain experience, i.e. travel).
If the rider is approaching 300lbs, AUTOSAG may not function, and sag may exceed the bike’s
prescribed amount.
STEP 2: ADJUSTING REBOUND
Refer to the rebound/compression chart to set the rebound damping (red knob). Rebound damping controls the rate
at which the shock returns after it has been compressed.
„
Clockwise for slower rebound (slow speed, bigger hits).
„
Counter-clockwise for faster rebound (higher speeds, small bumps, more traction).
