This part is really important. With the purchase of your new Ibis Mojo Carbon, you have
hopefully been provided with a manual for your shock. If not, please ask your dealer to
provide you with one, as each bike is shipped with a shock tuning guide courtesy our
friends at Fox or DT Swiss depending on the shock you’re using. Their guides are excel-
lent, so we suggest you use these as a guide for properly tuning your new bike. However,
if you don’t have one, here are a few basics we recommend for the initial setup so you
can get started.

Sometimes the derailleur hangar gets bent and needs to be replaced. It’s not a bad idea
to order an extra and carry a spare. Do we really need to tell you how to do replace
this bit? We didn’t think so.

RebouND
The RP23 has adjustable rebound damping. It’s adjusted by turning the clicker on
the inside of the propedal adjust lever. Turning the red clicker clockwise slows the
rebound, and counterclockwise achieves faster rebound. Generally you want it as
fast as you can set it without getting bounced off the saddle after a bump or drop.
The number of clicks to achieve this changes depending on the main spring air
pressure. Experiment. It’s easy, fun and profitable. Ok, maybe not profitable.
PRoPeDal
ProPedal is a damping system used by Fox to reduce pedal-induced suspension
bob. The Mojo is good at minimizing pedal suspension bob due to the design of
the DW Link suspension, but even with the Mojo there are situations where you
might want to use some ProPedal.
ProPedal is turned on or off with the simple movement of an easily accessible
lever. You can run the shock open (lever to the right), or with one of the three
ProPedal settings on the RP23 (ProPedal lever to the left, and the three settings
are adjusted by pulling out and turning the outer blue knob on top of the lever).
ProPedal is OFF in the picture above.
For off road use a good all around setting is # 1. You can then either leave it on
for the descent or flip the lever to the drive side of the bike to turn the ProPedal
off resulting in a smoother descent. If you are riding on the road or doing a lot
of out of the saddle climbing off road the #2 position works well. For out of the
saddle sprinting try ProPedal setting #3 for a near lock-out. Again, it’s a matter of
personal preference, so please experiment.
RebouND
The DT Swiss XR Carbon has adjustable rebound damping.
It’s adjusted by turning the clicker at the top of the shock
just behind the forward eyelet. Generally you should set
the rebound such that the return to open speed is as fast
as you can make it without getting bounced back up out of
the saddle much after a small drop done seated.
loCK-ouT
The DT Swiss XR Carbon shock is also equipped with a
lock-out lever located at the top of the air canister. Flip the
lever to the left to lock-out the shock, or flip it to the right
to open it up. Be careful, the lock-out on the DT XR will
transform your 5.5“ full suspension bike into a hardtail!
Great for chasing cars etc.
sag
To set the sag, you need to set the air pressure in the
rear shock. With the DHX Air, you should start with
0.50 inches (12 mm) of sag. Sit on your bike in a nor-
mal riding position. Reach down and slide the O ring
up the shock shaft against the wiper seal. Next, gently
step off of the bike taking care not to further compress
the suspension.
RebouND
The DHX AIR has adjustable rebound damping. It’s ad-
justed by turning the clicker just below the upper eyelet
mount.
Turning the red clicker clockwise slows the rebound,
and counterclockwise achieves faster rebound. Gener-
ally you want it as fast as you can set it without getting
bounced off the saddle after a bump or drop. The num-
ber of clicks to achieve this changes depending on the
main spring air pressure. There are 22 clicks of adjust-
ment. Start in the middle and experiment from there.
PRoPeDal
ProPedal is a damping system used by Fox to reduce
pedal-induced suspension bob. The Mojo is good at
minimizing pedal suspension bob due to the design of
the DW Link suspension, but even with the Mojo there are
situations where you might want to use some ProPedal.
ProPedal is adjusted using the blue dial at the top of the
reservoir.
Clockwise adjustment increases ProPedal, and vice ver-
sa. There are 15 clicks of adjustment. Adjust it to where
you like it.
boTToM ouT ResisTaNCe
The DHX Air has an added feature of Bottom Out resis-
tance. This can be set by a knob adjuster at the bottom
of the reservoir. There are three rotations of adjustment
available. Start with a maximum pressure in the Schrad-
er boost valve of 125 psi.
For more bottom out resistance, turn the knob clockwise,
it might help to use a 4mm Hex key inserted in the holes
in the knob if you have difficulty moving it by hand.
Here are some tips to get you started. First you need to
set the sag. Use the calender on the upper right to set the
air pressure and then take a sag reading (the air cap is at
the top of the left fork leg under a cap). Fine tune the sag
depending on your style of riding. Use 5 lb. PSI adjust-
ments to get it to the place you want it.
Rebound damping, lockout and compression damp-
ing are all adjusted via the knobs at the top of the
right fork leg. The blowoff threshold is adjusted at
the bottom of the right leg. There’s a tremendous
amount of adjustability with this fork, so don’t hesi-
tate to experiment. Again, read the manual!
The settings and procedures for the MRD forks are much the same. Start with 35-45% of
the rider’s weight in the main air spring, or sag of about 10-20% of travel.
Tip:
The air valve on a Manitou MRD fork is
located at the bottom of the left (non-drive side)
fork leg. When removing a shock pump from
the air valve it is possible that a small amount
of lubricant will be expelled. As the air valve
is adjacent to your disk brake rotor it is advis-
able to wrap the rotor with a CLEAN rag to
prevent the expelled lubricant from getting on
the rotor.
The MRD forks have Absolute Damping, and
a simple turn of the knob located on the top
right leg is all that is needed to add platform
to the system. Turning the knob clockwise (as
you are looking from the rider‘s position) in-
creases platform incrementally from an open
position to what is essentially a closed posi-
tion for increased efficiency, while turning the
knob counterclockwise decreases the amount
of platform.
We supply our complete bikes with either a Fox Float RLC or
a Manitou MRD. Here are some facts to get you started:

Proud owner - ride more, work less!
First, here’s DT’s picture of the shock, we will refer to some of
the parts named here:
1) Percentage of body weight.
If you’re using a Fox RP23, start with an initial air pressure in the shock
of approximately
90% of your body weight
. you can vary it in 5 or
10 psi increments to see what you like the best. Lower pressures will
give a softer ride with the bike setting further into it‘s travel, higher
pressures reduce sag and produce a firmer ride. If you’re using the
DT Swiss XR Carbon, start with 80-85% of body weight and vary it in
5 psi increments to achieve your desired ride.
2) Sit on it
This method works on any shock. Compatible shocks will have a
7.875” (200 mm) overall length and 2” (51 mm) of travel (leverage ra-
tio is 2.8:1). Sit on your bike in a normal riding position. Reach down
and slide the O ring up the shock shaft against the wiper seal. Next,
gently step off of the bike taking care not to further compress the
suspension. The distance from the O ring to the wiper seal should be
about 10 - 13 mm for XC type riding and 13 - 15 mm for more aggres-
sive off road riding.
