Suspension Settings and Recommendations
(Coil Shock-Equipped Bikes)
Giant’s Maestro rear suspension design precisely positions the pivots and linkages to
provide efficient pedaling and small bump compliance. Maestro’s pivot placement allows
the rear suspension to be completely active under pedaling and braking, allowing the rear
wheel to react constantly to the terrain.
All coil shock-equipped Giant bicycles use the same formula to determine “sag” and
“rebound damping” (see Basic Terms & Shock Setup Overview for definition of sag and
rebound damping).
WARNING
Maestro-equipped mountain bikes rely on rear suspension “sag.” Sag is a critical
performance component and is relative to the individual rider’s weight. See the following
sag setting instructions (Page iv) for details.
Giant’s Glory frame design is intended for aggressive freeriding and recreational/
competitive downhill riding. The sag range can accommodate a wide variety of riding
styles and terrain.
The Giant Reign X is an all-mountain bicycle designed to handle both aggressive trail
riding and light freeriding duties. The multi-tunable shock can be almost infinitely adjusted
for all types of terrain and riding styles.
SETTING AND ADJUSTING SAG (Coil Shocks)
1. Turn the spring tension collar counter clockwise until there
is minimal tension on the spring (figure1).
2. With a felt-tip marker, place a dot on the edge of the collar
and the shock body so you can measure full rotations of the
shock collar.
3. Position the bicycle next to a wall so that the rider can sit
on the bike with both feet on the pedals while steadying
themself with one arm. Have them gently sit on the saddle
without bouncing. Measure the eye-to-eye distance while
they’re seated on the bike (Figure 1). Get the rider to dis-
mount.
4. Subtract the weighted eye-to-eye distance from the
un-weighted eye-to-eye distance to determine sag. See the
Sag Recommendations Chart for sag distances.
