The Primer Pro (29” ) uses 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 Pro model 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.

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. Use the OPEN mode
during rough descending,
the MEDIUM mode for
undulating terrain, and the
FIRM mode for smooth
climbing.
OPEN mode adjust is useful
to control fork performance
under rider weight shifts,
G-outs, and slow inputs.
OPEN mode adjust provides
22 additional fine tuning
adjustments for the OPEN
mode. Setting 18 will have a
more plush feel and setting
1 will have a firmer feel.
