The rebound adjuster for the fork is a red dial
located on the bottom of the right fork leg.
Rebound controls how fast the fork extends after
compressing. The rebound adjustment is dependent
on the air pressure setting. For example, higher air
pressures require more rebound damping. Use your
air pressure to find your rebound setting. Turn your
rebound knob to the closed position (full clockwise)
until it stops. Then back it out (counterclockwise) to
the number of clicks shown in the table below.
Adjust rebound until (when tested) the fork returns
quickly but does not top out. Top out is felt when
a fork fully extends too quickly and comes to an
abrupt stop when it reaches full extension (you will
hear a small noise). Top out should be avoided
through proper rebound setting.
The Sniper T Expert uses FOX air sprung suspension front and rear, so first you
need to set the air pressure. Look at the air pressure chart below to calculate the
air pressure you require. Remember to calculate your weight when you are in full
riding gear. You are looking for approximately 20% sag, so for the 120mm (4.7”) fork
that comes on the Sniper T Expert that measurement should be around 24mm (1”).
Adjust the pressure in your forks until you reach the correct sag.
REBOUND
Open
(counterclockwise)
Least amount of rebound
damping. Fork rebounds
fastest.
Closed
(clockwise)
Most amount of rebound
damping. Fork rebounds
slowest.
ADJUSTING GRIP COMPRESSION DAMPING
3-Position Micro Adjust: The 3-position lever is useful to make on-the-
fly adjustments to control fork performance under significant changes in
terrain, and is intended to be adjusted throughout the ride. FOX INTENSE
recommends that the ultimate performance will be found with this lever in the
full counterclockwise ‘Open’ setting. Turning the lever to the middle position
sets the fork in the Medium mode. Turning the lever to the full clockwise
position sets the fork in Firm mode. The positions between the three modes
can be utilized to change the damping performance of the fork.
