4. AIR PRESSURE & SAG

The RUX RC2 uses air as the main spring. The main spring functions to resist 

compression of the fork under the riders weight. When setting the air pressure, 

make sure you wear all your gear in order to achieve your exact riding weight. 

Helpful info: air pressure is critical for optimum performance. Keep a record of your air pressure 

under different riding conditions. Too little air pressure, the fork will easily compress under your 

body weight and full travel will not be achieved for absorbing bumps. Too much air pressure, the 

fork will be harsh & loss of traction will occur.
