7 – OVERVOLT

For the best performance, here are some adjustment and setting tips:

7.1 - Correctly adjust your riding position.

7.2 Overvolt FS 900 & FS 500 models only:

Adjust the sag of the rear shock absorber. (SAG is where the travels sits when the rider is on the bike.)

To make sure the suspension will properly work, the sag and rebound speed must be set up according to 

your weight and riding.

The average set up of the SAG should be between 20 and 30 % for the rear shock absorber. You can use as 

an indicator the o-ring on the shaft to do so.

Sit on the bike with your equipment (hydration bag, etc.) with your feet on the pedals and in riding position 

(having someone hold the bike for you and leaning against the wall with your elbows will help), bounce 

slightly and make sure the o-ring is against the air sleeve.

Then get off your bike slowly so as not to compress the suspension.

Measure the distance between the o-ring and the shock absorber; this distance is what we call SAG.

Depending on the kind of ride that you are seeking, you can adjust the air pressure in the rear shock 

absorber to vary the sag. If you are looking for reaction and precise steering, you should opt for a sag close 

to 20 %. On the other hand, if you seek more comfort and stability in descents, 30 % will be more suitable.

The rebound speed should be set up according to your type of riding. If the terrain is steep, it has to bounce 

fast, if it is flat, it can be slowed down. However be careful and set it up within reasonable limits.

In order to set up the suspension, the shock absorber has a red lever that must be tightened to slow down, 

and vice versa.

These set ups are important. Do not hesitate to ask advice from your dealer.

Make sure you never exceed maximal pressures indicated on the shock absorber.

7.3 Usage: Consult the Bosch user manual provided with your Overvolt.
