9. AUTOSAG AIR SHOCK SETUP
LEVO FSR bicycles are equipped with AUTOSAG, a unique new feature designed to simplify and speed up the
adjustment of air pressure. The AUTOSAG feature automatically determines the correct amount of sag, and
eliminates the need to refer to an air chart to determine the correct pressure based on rider weight. However, the
shock still requires compression and rebound adjustment based on type of terrain and rider weight. Once the air
pressure is set, please refer to the compression settings ( page 18 ) and the rebound chart ( page 18 ).
Air pressures, rebound and compression settings are suggested starting point recommendations
only. They should be adjusted according to the rider’s needs for each type of terrain to achieve
optimal performance. Shock air pressure can be set up manually to rider preference instead of
using AUTOSAG if desired.

Adjust the seat height.

Set the fork pressure approximately to the desired sag.

(black).
„
Attach a high-pressure shock pump to the positive air valve.
„
Inflate to the rider’s weight in pounds (lb) plus 50psi. For
kilograms, multiply by three (e.g. 75kg = 225psi).
CAUTION: Do not exceed 350psi before activating the
Autosag valve (this is a starting pressure only). After
the Autosag is activated, 300 psi is the recommended
maximum working pressure when riding.
„
Make sure you are wearing all gear that would normally be worn on a ride (shoes, helmet, hydration pack if used,
etc.). Mount the bicycle, prop up against a wall, and sit in the saddle in a normal riding position. Do
not set sag
while riding.
„
Unthread then press the grey AUTOSAG valve

. The pressure will decrease until the suspension settles into
its pre-adjusted sag point. Once the Autosag valve is no longer releasing pressure, let go of the Autosag valve.
„
Cycle the shock a few times to fill the negative air chamber again

, then dismount the bicycle.
„
Do
not
depress the AUTOSAG valve again, otherwise the proper sag setting will be lost, and will require this
procedure to be repeated from step #2.
„
Tighten the positive air valve cap.
„
Verify the fork sag and adjust again if necessary to complete the bike setup.
Rider weight in pounds (lb) plus the PSI (depending on model as described above) is the lowest
amount of pressure that should be in the shock before activating AUTOSAG. If the air pressure is too
low, the AUTOSAG button may let air out of the negative chamber, which would result in incorrect sag.
Sag is measured as the distance between the o-ring and the shock body’s seal, after the rider’s weight
has been applied to the bike, with no bounce. When AUTOSAG is correctly set, sag should measure
approximately 20-30% of stroke, depending on riding/terrain experience. If the rider is approaching
300lbs, AUTOSAG may not function, and sag may exceed the bike’s prescribed amount.
