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 Elite 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 Elite that measurement should be around 24mm (1”). Adjust
the pressure in your forks until you reach the correct sag.

3-Position Micro Adjust: The 3-position lever is useful to make on-the-fly
adjustments to control fork performance under significant change in terrain,
and is intended to be adjusted throughout the ride.
Use the OPEN mode during rough descending, the MEDIUM mode for
undulating terrain, and the FIRM mode for smooth climbing.
