what is PrO-Pedal?
Pro-pedal is a compression tune that
gives the right amount of low-speed compression to filter out
unwanted rider-induced bob without sacrificing critical mid-
and high-speed damping. No flushing through your travel,
no wasted setup time, and no energy-sucking suspension
movement. Just super efficient pedaling performance ready
for hits of any size.
PrO-Pedal
The pro-pedal dampening has three levels of adjustment
and is controlled by the blue lever (formerly the lock-out lever). The
three different levels of dampening are light, medium and heavy pro-pedal.
We recommend setting the pro-pedal in the middle of its adjustment
range (position 2). If you feel like the bike is too firm and is not absorbing
the small bumps, flick the lever left to the light setting. If the bike feels
sluggish and you want the suspension to feel more efficient, turn the lever
right to the stiffer setting.
air Pressure
The main air spring controls the sag of the shock.
For the 4X to ride properly it is important to setup the shock with the
correct amount of sag. For proper setup use 10-15% of the shock stroke. To
increase sag, reduce the main spring air pressure. To reduce sag increase
the main spring air pressure.
saG
Once you have set your baseline air pressure you need to
measure the sag. To measure the sag slide the travel indicator
(O-Ring) up against the shock body. With a friend supporting the bike, sit
on the saddle (do not bounce) and allow your body weight to compress
the shock. Once you have compressed the shock, get off the bike and
measure the distance between the shock body and the new position of the
travel indicator (O-Ring). This is your sag. Refer to the guide below for the
percentage of sag equivalents for the measurement recorded.
rebOund
The rebound adjustment has a nine-click range. The
rebound knob is the red adjustment dial located above your blue pro-
pedal adjustment lever. As a general rule, adjustments that are too fast
(counter-clockwise adjustment) will produce a springy ride with excessive
kick-up of the rear end causing a bucking sensation. Adjustments that
are too slow (clockwise adjustment) will cause packing of the rear wheel
indicated by a sluggish ride feeling ride.
slower rebound - turn the knob clockwise
faster rebound- turn the knob counter-clockwise

setuP Overview
The 4x is designed to be used as a race/jump specific ride. This required
a different setup on the rear shock than the standard full suspension ride. Essentially the
ride is setup much stiffer, running lower sage percentages. This will require the rider to
measure the sag exactly so the intended ride characteristics are achieved.
