Instinct & Pipeline Carbon Platform Manual
RIDE-9
Suspension and geometry set-up are complex artforms with huge variations in rider style, preference, terrain and ability. We do recommend
the use of professional services, but we also believe that learning to dial in your own bike is the best way to fully understand its performance.
Adjust your RIDE-9™ position for geometry before considering suspension effects, or variables like air pressure and shock compression.
Make gradual, incremental changes, take notes, and be methodical. Don’t adjust in a hurry before a big ride. Take your time and enjoy the process.
