Operation
10 Increase or reduce the air pressure until you
have reached the desired negative deflection.
 If the negative deflection is correct, fasten the
valve cap onto the valve.
6.5.8.2 Adjusting the rebound
The rebound defines the speed at which the rear
frame damper rebounds after being loaded. The
rebound setting depends on the air pressure
setting. Higher sag settings require lower rebound
settings.

frame damper
 Turn the rebound adjuster wheel in the
– direction to increase rebounding.
 Turn the rebound adjuster wheel in the
+ direction to reduce compressive deflection
movements.
6.5.8.3 Setting the compression
You can use the pressure damper setting to adjust
the rear frame damper to the ground conditions.
The pressure damper setting defines the speed at
which the rear frame damper rebounds after being
subjected to load or impact.

frame damper
 Turn the compression adjuster towards the
– symbol to increase rebounding.
 Turn the compression adjuster towards the
+ symbol to reduce compressive deflection
movement.
6.5.9 Setting the FOX rear frame damper
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
6.5.9.1 Adjusting the negative deflection
 Negative deflection depends on the rider's
weight and sitting position. The recommended
value is between 25% (hard) and 30% (soft) of
the
total rear frame damper deflection .
1 Turn the compression adjuster to the OPEN
position.
2 Attach a high-pressure damper pump to the air
valve.
3 Adjust the rear frame damper air pressure to
the rider's weight.
4 Slowly compress the damper to over 25% of
the deflection 10 times until you have reached
the desired pressure.

This equalises the air pressure between the
positive and negative air chambers. The high-
pressure damper pump pressure gauge
changes.
5 Remove the high-pressure damper pump.

Notice
If the air pressure in the rear frame damper is
exceeded or undershot, the damper can be
permanently damaged.
Do not exceed the maximum air pressure of
350 psi (24.1 bar). The minimum air suspension
pressure of 50 psi (3.4 bar) must be complied
with.
