First check the spring rate-chart on this page to make sure that the spring fitted on
your 170mm (6.7”) Öhlins TTX22M Coil rear shock is within range for your rider
weight. If the spring is too hard or too soft you will need to change it. Please see our
Tech Videos section on our website to see how to change the coil on your shock.
The optimal sag on your rear shock is 30% of the piston’s movement inside the
shock body (stroke). The distance between the two shock mounting bolts (eye-to-
eye) without a rider on the bike is 205mm. Sag at 30% (of the shock stroke) equates
to a 19.5mm reduction in the eye-to-eye measurement. So the correct eye-to-
eye measurement for 30% sag on both of these shocks is 185.5mm (205-19.5 =
185.5mm). As a further adjustment you can preload the shock a minimum of 1.5
turns, and a maximum of 5 turns.

REBOUND
ADJUSTMENTS
To remove rebound
damping turn the dial
counterclockwise. This will
open the rebound valve and
increase the shock rebound
speed. To add rebound
damping turn the dial
clockwise. This will close
the rebound valve which
will slow down the shock
rebound speed.
