SETTING AND ADJUSTING SAG (Coil Shocks) 

cont’d

Sag Recommendations chart (coil shock)

5. For general purpose riding, the shock should compress 

approximately one quarter of its travel (please refer to the Sag 

Recommendations charts for specific recommendations for 

the frame). Turn the shock’s tension collar clockwise to 

increase spring tension/decrease shock sag. 

6. If the rider sits on the bike with minimal tension on the 

spring and there is less than one quarter of the shock travel, a 

lighter weight spring is needed. If you turn the shock tension 

collar three complete turns and the shock compresses more 

than a quarter of the shock’s travel, a heavier spring is need-

ed. Contact your Giant Canada Inside Sales Representative 

for replacement springs.

WARNING

Never tighten the spring tension collar past three turns from 

minimum tension as doing so will cause the spring to “coil 

bind “ which can cause damage to the spring and internal 

workings of the shock.
