Air sprung forks and shocks must abso-
lutely be adjusted to the correct air pres-
sure before use. For that reason we have
included a shock pump with your new YT
bike. You can learn about adjusting your
suspension’s air pressure in the manufac-
turer’s manual.
SUSPENSION ELEMENT
ATTENTION!
Do not ride your bike
with too little or too much air pressu-
re, as this may lead to fork or shock
damage.
You’ll find more precise instructions in
the included manufacturer’s manual.
Basic Settings
The weight of the rider and his position
on the bicycle determine the adjustment
criteria for the rear shock and suspension
fork. When sitting on the bike, the suspen-
sion will compress to a certain degree –
the so-called ″sag″. The ″sag value″ that cor
-
responds to your riding style is best deter-
mined with a few test rides. Test rides and
personal preferences will also determine
the settings of the compression and re-
bound speeds of the suspension elements.

Loosen and remove the shock bolt from the
rear shock mount with a 5 mm allen key.
Remove the Flip Chip, flip it to the desired po-
sition (Low or High is indicated on the chip)
and put it back in. Then screw the damper bolt
back in. (10 – 12 Nm).

The
low position
gives you a more aggres-
sive headtube angle, more BB drop and
more stability – perfect for fast and rough
downhill sections.
The
high position
provides a steeper head-
tube angle, so you can crush the uphills and
snap around tight turns with ease.
