BOS KIRK SUSPENSION SET-UP

SETTING SAG BY ADJUSTING THE AIR SPRING

Sag is the measurement of how much the suspension 
compresses (or sags) under body weight. Orbea re-
commends between 27-33% (17-21MM) for the Ra-
llon  R4.  Less  sag  will  give  a  firmer  ride  that  climbs 
and pedals more efficiently, more sag will make the 
suspension softer and more bump-sensitive, giving 
more control at high speeds in rough terrain.
You will need a shock pump to adjust sag via the air 
spring  valve.  Make  sure  the  Pedal  Efficiency  Lever 
is OFF. Ensure that the o-ring on the shock shaft is 
pushed all the way up against the shock body and 
mount your bike with your riding gear on (to mimic ri-
ding weight). It might be handy to lean the handlebar 
against a wall for balance, or have a friend help you 
hold the bike. Without bouncing, sit on the saddle and 
lift your feet off the ground so the shock compresses. 
If you feel like you’ve bounced and pushed the ring 
too far, put the o-ring back against the shock body 
and try again. Gently get off your bike. The distance 
the o-ring traveled from the shock body is the sag 
measurement. With your shock pump, either increase 
or decrease pressure in the air spring to reach the 
desired measurement. Remove the shock pump from 
the shock each time before re-checking sag.

SETTING HIGH-SPEED COMPRESSION (HSC)

High-speed compression damping (red knob) controls 
how your suspension compresses under quick, high 
impact forces such as square edge hits and harsh 
landings. Impacts that cause your suspension to com-
press deeply and rapidly will generally be controlled 
with the HSC setting.
Start at the midpoint (12 clicks) and adjust HSC to 
achieve a balance between effectively using travel and 
bottoming out.

SETTING REBOUND

The opposite of compression damping, rebound dam-
ping (black knob) controls how quickly the shock ex-
tends to stabilize the bike and manage traction. Too 
much rebound damping will make the rear end feel 
stiff and cause the rear tire to skip over chatter. Too 
little will cause the suspension to bounce back too 
rapidly and compromise control.
Start at the midpoint (12 clicks) and adjust rebound to 
achieve a balance between quick, plush recovery and 
stability after larger impacts.

SETTING LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION (LSC)

Low-speed compression (grey knob) controls shock 
sensitivity  -  cornering  traction  and  bike  stabilization 
under braking forces or weight shifts. Brake dive and 
pedal “bob” are tuned out by adding more LSC at the 
expense of losing plushness and traction.
Start at the midpoint (12 clicks) and adjust LSC to 
achieve a balance between sensitivity over small 
bumps and a bike that remains stable under braking 
forces or weight shifts.

USING THE PEDAL EFFICIENCY LEVER

Low-speed compression (grey knob) controls shock 
sensitivity  -  cornering  traction  and  bike  stabilization 
under braking forces or weight shifts. Brake dive and 
pedal “bob” are tuned out by adding more LSC at the 
expense of losing plushness and traction.
Start at the midpoint (12 clicks) and adjust LSC to 
achieve a balance between sensitivity over small 
bumps and a bike that remains stable under braking 
forces or weight shifts.
