WHAT IS TRACTION TUNED?

We want to promote very responsive suspension performance, so we have developed Traction Tune for the Ripmo.  
We recommend having high-speed adjustments wide open or close to it, and using just enough low-speed  
damping to provide stability to the bike.
For maximum traction and performance, your front and rear suspension need to be balanced. To achieve 
proper balance, you need to setup your suspension so it matches your style and the steepness of your terrain.  

Here is the recommended procedure to get the most out of your suspension.

First, set your fork sag with your riding gear on. Determine the sag by picking a riding style listed 
below. While in a standing position on the bike 

(see illustration)

, set the sag to the correct number  

of mm. Use the starting guidelines from the chart below left, these will generally get you close  
to 28% sag. You will likely need to raise or lower pressures to get the recommended setting.

28% / 45mm Sag:

 

Best for normal trail riding where efficient pedalling and a stable platform is required. 

30% / 48mm Sag:

  

For aggressive riding in terrain that demands your attention.

32% / 51mm Sag:

  

Use for rough, steep, slippery trails when maximum control is a must.

SAG RANGE 

SAG

 is the amount your 

fork compresses under 
your body weight (don’t 
forget to include your 
riding gear), also referred 
to as Rider Weight. 
Remember that these are 
only starting points and 
adjustments will vary 
based on rider ability, 
trail conditions and 
personal preference.

IN MID 2020, WE STARTED SHIPPING DVO ONYX FORKS AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THE RIPMO AND RIPMO AF.
