SET-UP
3 - XR
This 29’’ wheel specific frame, adopts a new single-pivot system, guaranteeing significant weight savings
and maximum stiffness. The lack of pivot at the seat stay / chain stay junction is offset by the ‘‘flex’’ carbon
rear triangle. The Fox shock, specially developed for the XR, is manually adjustable in 3 positions: CTD
(climb, trail, descend) and provides a 100mm of travel.
How to adjust the shock absorber:
3.1 - Sit on the bike, feet on the pedals and hands on the handlebar (lean against a wall with your elbow to
simplify the operation), with your gear (knap sack, etc...)
3.2 - Ensure the O-ring is against the air chamber. Sit on the saddle to engage the SAG then bounce lightly and
carefully get off the bike. The O-ring should be between 8mm and 11mm away from the chamber of the rear
shock.
4 - X-CONTROL
(FPS+)
The FPS+ (Full Power Suspension) is based on an equilibrium point, and it is thus necessary to set the
pressure of the shock absorber properly to get the best results. To do so, all FPS+ models are equipped
with an indicator on the swing arm.
Steps to follow:
4.1 - Sit on the bike, with your feet on the pedals and in riding position. (Leaning with your elbow on the
wall helps).
4.2 - Once you are balanced, the indicator should point to the equilibrium point:
- If the indicator is pointed between « zero » and « min », you need to reduce the pressure.
- If the indicator is pointed above « max », you need to increase the pressure. A high-pressure pump is
recommended for this step.
Warning: Never exceed 200 psi or 14 bars, and do not allow any foreign objects to enter the shock while
you are adjusting.
To check your setting, you can slightly bounce while you are on the saddle and verify that the indicator
always returns to the equilibrium point. You can also ride on flat ground to check that the indicator stays at
the equilibrium point. If you do this, beware of oncoming traffic!
