Setting the Air Pressure
In all DT Swiss forks, the air spring is located in the left stanchion. By adjusting the air pressure, the spring rate
will be affected. The higher the air pressure, the harder the spring. Adjusting the air pressure to the weight of
the rider can slightly change the total length of the fork.
The air chamber is filled with a small amount of lubricating oil. Make sure that the valve is facing upwards
during inflation or deflation.
1. Position the bike so that the valve of the air chamber is facing upwards.
2. Remove the valve cap.
3. Mount a suitable shock pump onto the valve.
4. Adjust the air pressure by in- or deflating.

Check if the correct SAG is set (see above).
5. Screw on the valve cap.
5. Get off your bike and measure the distance
between O-ring and wiper seal.

This measurement is called SAG.

The SAG should be between 15% and 25% of
the full travel and can be adjusted depending
on the riding style and use.
6. Set the air pressure if necessary (see following). Repeat steps above until the correct SAG is set.
NOTICE
Do not use the fork while the shock pump is mounted!
This may cause the shock pump to touch the frame and the thread of the valve to break off.
Only use a suitable shock pump to adjust the air pressure. We suggest to use the DT Swiss shock pump.
