Adjusting the Amount of Shock Absorption
The suspension system can be adjusted to suit the terrain, the rider’s riding
style and weight. There are 28 suspension levels available.
WARNING!
DURING NORMAL USE, THE
DAMPENING SHOULD BE NOTICEABLE, BUT THE
FORK SHOULD NOT COMPRESS AS FAR AS THE
STOP. INCREASE THE SUSPENSION STIFFNESS IF
THIS OCCURS.
1. To decrease the amount of
dampening, turn the Suspension
Knob clockwise (towards the ‘+’
sign).
Note:
In general when riding
on uneven ground, with the rider
on the middle of the bike, the
suspension should compress by
about 25% of the suspension range.
2. To increase the amount of dampening, turn the Suspension Knob anti-
clockwise towards the ‘-’ sign.
Adjusting the Suspension Compliance
The compression rate of the system can be adjusted by changing the air
pressure in the forks.
WARNING!
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAX. AIR
PRESSURE OF THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM AS
THIS MAY DAMAGE THE BICYCLE AND CAUSE AN
ACCIDENT.
1. Undo the cap on the left arm of
the Front Fork by turning it anti-
clockwise.
2. Use a suitable air compressor and inflation accessory to increase the
air pressure in the Fork. Refer to the table below for recommended
suspensions pressures.
3. To release excess air, depress
the valve stem and allow air to
escape.
4. Replace the cap on the Fork.
WARNING!
ENSURE THE CAP IS REPLACED WHEN
FINISHED WITH ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY ALLOW DIRT TO ENTER THE
VALVE STEM AND DAMAGE THE SUSPENSION.
Recommended Suspension Pressures
Do not over- or under-inflate the suspension system. Doing so could damage
the forks.
