Recommended Air Pressure

Before riding, pressurize the LEFTY with a bicycle suspension pump. 
Set the initial air pressure according to your weight (including the 
weight of riding gear) based upon the following table. Then, adjust air 
pressure in small amounts to achieve recommended sag. .

Sag is the distance the LEFTY compresses when the bike is statically 
loaded with your body weight in your riding position. Set it according 
to the LEFTY travel. Sag is set by changing the air pressure through 
the Schrader valve at the bottom of the LEFTY.

Be aware that conventional pump gages have variations. Therefore, we 
recommend you to fine tune your set up with the Recommended Sag.

To set sag:

1.  Remove the Schrader valve cap (1) at the bottom of the Lefty . 

Attach a bicycle suspension pump to the Schrader valve (2). 

2.  Set the recommended intial starting air pressure according to 

your weight. 

3.  Sit on bike in riding position and dismount.

Sag Trouble Shooting

Too much sag

add air in small increments

Too little sag

reduce air in small increments

Excessive bottom out

increasing air pressure 

harsh ride or limited 
travel

reduce air pressure

Note: 

Your riding position affects weight distribution 

andtherefore sag. For example, in the “Attack” position the 
rider’s weight is distributed equally front and rear.

NOTICE

A dirty pump or valve end can result in contamination, 
damage, and air loss. Make sure pump and valve are clean 
before attachment.
