Set the rear sag and rebound using the same technique as the fork pressure. These are just guidelines, so experiment until you find the settings that work for you.
Once you have the sag set, use the charts below to set your compression and rebound settings. From there, adjust to your preference.
STEP 3
SHOCK TUNING
JADE X BLADDER SETUP
The Jade Coil features a bladder in place of a traditional IFP (Internal Floating Piston) for optimum
small bump sensitivity. The purpose of the bladder is to separate the air from the oil in the reservoir.
To achieve the best performance and durability, it is extremely important to set the air pressure to
the proper range (170-200psi).
1.
Remove air cap to access air valve. Thread on
a suspension specific pump and apply the
recommended air pressure.
2.
After you are done setting
the air pressure, remove the
shock pump and securely
attach the air cap.

There is not a numerical torque figure for the Hexle. We recommend tightening the 5mm with your multi tool that you carry with you. This way you’ll be able to remove it in case of a flat out on a ride.
