Quick Start Guide
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.

The pro-pedal dampening has two settings
and three levels of adjustment and is controlled by the blue lever
(formerly the lock-out lever). The two settings are open and propedal.
Use each setting to adjust the shock for different riding conditions and
situations. For example use propedal for riding to the top of the mountain
and then switch to open for the descent.
The pro pedal knob has three different levels of dampening: (1) light, (2)
medium and (3) heavy pro-pedal. If the bike feels too firm, put it on a light
setting, and if it feels too sluggish, turn it to the stiffer setting.
air Pressure
The main air spring controls the sag of the shock. For
the AS-R to ride properly it is important to setup the shock with the
correct amount of sag. For general riding use 20-30% of the shock stroke
(5mm to 10mm). To increase sag reduce the main spring air pressure. To
reduce sag increase the main spring air pressure. Refer to the quick start
guide to get your starting air pressure.
firm ride- 20-25% sag
Plush ride- 30% sag
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 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 8-10 clicks of adjustment.
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
