SET-UP
USEFUL ADVICE
If you would like to increase the negative travel, you can slightly reduce the pressure in the shock absorber for
additional comfort, or if you ride on very rough terrain.
the indicator will then be positioned between « zero » and « max ».(for the X-control, never allow more than
1mm between the indicator and zero.) You may feel slight pedal bob, but it should be minimal.
On the other hand, there is no real benefit to increasing the pressure higher than necessary.
note :
- Avoid directing high-pressure washers pointed directly at the bearings of your bike (headset, wheels, crankset,
etc.). A brush attached to the end of the hose is a better solution for cleaning your bike.
- If you ride often in muddy conditions, it is advised to protect the rear shock absorber with a neoprene sleeve.
4 OST - zESTy/SPICy/FROggy
Our new OSt technology (Optimized Suspension technology), which was derived from the fPS system but
improved for longer travels, also has an indicator that helps set up the sag. the indicator is located on the left
side, on the chainstay.
the sag should be adjusted from 15 to 19 mm for Zesty, from 17 to 21 mm for Spicy, and from 21 to 25 mm
for froggy.
the set up is the same for these 3 bikes:
1 : first make sure the indicator is right in front of « zero » when no one is seated on the bike. do not hesitate
to adjust the position of the red arrow if it is not properly aligned when no one is on the bike.
2 : Sit on the bike with your feet on the pedals and in riding position. (Leaning against a wall with your elbow
helps).
3 : Once you are balanced, the red arrow should fall within the range that is indicated by hatchings on the
sticker. the right adjustment should be from 15 to 19 mm for Zesty, from 17 to 21 mm for Spicy and from 21
to 25 mm for froggy.
