Before you go for your first ride with your new MAGURA suspension fork,
take some time to adjust the suspension and damping to match your
personal weight and style of riding. This is absolutely necessary to make
best use of your suspension fork’s characteristics.

DJUSTING
THE
SUSPENSION
(
AIR
PRESSURE
)
L
The air suspension on your MAGURA suspension fork helps to compen-
sate for uneven terrain and keeps your front wheel in contact with the
ground at all times.
Insufficient air pressure causes a pronounced drop, frequent bottoming
out and a spongy ride.
Excessive air pressure reduces the maximum suspension travel and
provokes a hard response from your suspension fork.
As a general rule, the higher your weight and speed, and the rougher
the terrain, the higher the air pressure will need to be.
Material damage due to severe bottoming out caused by insufficient air
pressure.
h
Never use your suspension fork if there is insufficient or no air pressure.
Material damage due to excessive air pressure.
h
Never exceed the maximum permissible air pressure of 10 bar (150 psi).
Air leaking due to incorrect fitting of the valve cover.
h
Never use the suspension fork without a valve cover.
h
Always keep the valve cover seals clean.
h
Always firmly close the valve cover.

fully gradually reduces the pressure.
Pushing the ventilation button lightly completely evacuates the pressure.
