REBOUND
Open
(counterclockwise)
Least amount of rebound
damping. The shock
rebounds fastest.

Most amount of rebound
damping. The shock
rebounds slowest.
COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENTS
Adjust low speed: To adjust, turn the blue colored adjuster on the
side of the cylinder head. Turn clockwise to increase damping, turn
counterclockwise to decrease.

First check the spring rate-chart on this page to make sure that the spring fitted on
your 140mm (5.5”) Öhlins TTX22M Coil rear shock is within range for your rider
weight. If the spring is too hard or too soft you will need to change it. Please see our
Tech Videos section on our website to see how to change the coil on your shock.
The optimal sag on your rear shock is 30% of the piston’s movement inside the
shock body (stroke). The distance between the two shock mounting bolts (eye-
to-eye) without a rider on the bike is 210mm. Sag at 30% (of the piston) equates
to a 15mm reduction in the eye-to-eye measurement. So the correct eye-to-eye
measurement for 30% sag on both of these shocks is 195mm (210-15 = 195mm).
As a further adjustment you can preload the shock a minimum of 1.5 turns, and a
maximum of 5 turns.

of the shock by the end of
the coil.
