TERMINOLOGY
FORK SAG : The amount the fork compresses when the rider’s body weight is applied
to the fork while sitting on the bike. Please refer to each bike model’s fork setup chart
to determine correct air pressure and corresponding sag percentage.
COMPRESSION DAMPING : Shim controlled damping system for slow to medium shaft
speeds. Controls the resistance felt from the oil damping when compressing the fork
for a firm ride feel, offering greater cornering and braking performance.
BRAIN FADE : Opens and closes a separate bleed circuit that allows a small amount of
fluid to pass freely by the inertia valve-controlled circuit. For the rider, this adjustment
will reduce the firmness of the shock’s platform at ride height.
REBOUND DAMPING : Controls the rate of return of the fork after compression.

Set sag (check air pressure)

Wipe seals and stanchions clean

Lower leg service


inspection and oil change

Wipe the fork legs/seals clean after every ride to prevent wear and damage to the
fork. Failure to follow this caution will void the warranty.
Wash your fork with soap and water. If you ride in muddy conditions, clean and service your
fork more frequently. Do not use a pressure washer!
Inspect the brakes, quick-release and headset before each ride to ensure proper
tightness. Please refer to your Bicycle Owner’s manual for further information.
When your fork is cycled, grease will purge from the seals. This is normal; it is not
the oil leaking from the fork. Thin oil lines on the fork stanchion are a good sign and
means your seals are well lubricated, which reduces wear.
