Suspension fork
*
The suspension forks support the front wheel.
The distance travelled by the wheel between its unloaded
and fully loaded positions is called the total suspension
travel.
3.13.1 Lockout system
If your suspension forks are fitted with a
lockout system, it is possible to lock the
suspension. There are some riding situa-
tions where that can be useful: For ex-
ample, if you are riding up a hill .or if
you are standing up from the saddle
when accelerating. To switch the sus-
pension to fixed, turn the rotary control
on the right-hand side of the fork to
‘LOCK’ (or alternatively:
$
). To reacti-
vate the suspension, turn the control to
the ‘OPEN’ position.

DANGER
Do not ride over a rough terrain with the suspension locked. It can
damage the suspension forks. A broken fork could cause you to fall off
and seriously injure yourself.
3.13.2 Air system
On some suspension forks it is possible to
alter the air pressure. You will need assis-
tance from your cycle dealer to do this or if
you feel confident of doing it yourself, then
you use the suspension fork pump with a
pressure gauge and the suspension fork
manufacturer's installation manual. The
valve with cap (e.g. marked ‘AIR’) is usually
located on the left-hand side of the fork.
