The Primer Expert (29” and 275”) use FOX air sprung suspension front and rear,
so first you need to set the air pressure. Look at the air pressure on the chart
below to calculate the pressure you require. Remember to calculate your weight
when you are in full riding gear. You are looking for approximately 20% sag, so for
the 150mm (5.9”) fork that comes on the Primer 275 and Primer 29 Expert models
that measurement should be around 30mm (1.1”). Adjust the pressure in your
forks until you reach the correct sag.

The rebound adjuster for the fork is a red dial
located on the bottom of the right fork leg.
Rebound controls how fast the fork extends after
compressing. The rebound adjustment is dependent
on the air pressure setting. For example, higher air
pressures require more rebound damping. Use your
air pressure to find your rebound setting. Turn your
rebound knob to the closed position (full clockwise)
until it stops. Then back it out (counterclockwise) to
the number of clicks shown in the table opposite.
Adjust rebound until (when tested) the fork returns
quickly but does not top out. Top out is felt when
a fork fully extends too quickly and comes to an
abrupt stop when it reaches full extension (you will
hear a small noise). Top out should be avoided
through proper rebound setting.

3-Position Micro Adjust:
The 3-position lever is
useful to make on-the-fly
adjustments to control
fork performance under
significant changes in
terrain, and is intended to be
adjusted throughout the ride.
FOX recommends that the
ultimate performance will
be found with this lever in
the full counterclockwise
‘Open’ setting. Turning the
lever to the middle position
sets the fork in the Medium
mode. Turning the lever to
the full clockwise position
sets the fork in Firm mode.
The positions between the
three modes can be utilized
to change the damping
performance of the fork.
