rail lubricatiOn
Fill the supplied syringe with white lithium
grease. this is best done by removing the plunger on the syringe and
packing it with the grease. once the syringe is filled, press the end of the
rubber line onto the grease port as shown. Compress the syringe to force
grease into the rail system.
Warning:
The rails system must be lubricated after every ride. Failure to
lubricate based on the specifications can cause permanent damage to the linear
rail.
setuP Overview
Both the rail and block are made from proprietary carbon steel. the rail is then case
hardened to between 58 and 64rc. an armalloy surface treatment is applied to the rail and the block for
corrosion protection and wear resistance. the ball bearings are made from martensitic stainless steel -
which is equal to a 440 stainless. end scrapers, end seals, inner seals, and side seals prevent contaminants
from entering the system.
there is also a custom grease port on the end of each block. Grease should be applied with the supplied
applicator after the days ride and/or bike wash. after grease application, the suspension needs to be cycled
6-10 times to spread the grease evenly throughout the bearing raceways and ports in the block

rail lubricatiOn
after you have completed the initial lubrication.
Weight and unweight the bike to compress the shock an actuate
the rail system. if you see residual grease left on the rail after cycling
the suspension you have sufficiently lubricated the system. if no grease
is visible after cycling repeat step 1 until residual grease is visible on the
rail after cycling. perform this lubrication for both the top and main rail
systems. Wipe off any excess grease on the rail before riding.
