Air pressure

The correct air pressure and sag, along with 

number­of­clicks,­are­crucial­to­finding­a­

setup that best suits your riding style. Start 
with basic sag and go through the adjusters, 
but keep in mind the adjusters will not fully 
compensate for a too soft or hard air spring. 

Air spring volume adjustments

Adjusting the air spring volume by adding or 
removing volume spacers/oil affects the ramp 
characteristics of the spring. Adding spacers/
oil will increase the end stroke spring rate and 
removing them will decrease the rate. 

There are two possible ways to alter the air 

spring progressivity, either by adding oil or 
volume spacers.
