1. AIR PRESSURE
2. SAG
Your frame accepts a 8.5”x2.5”shock. We can’t warranty damage caused by use of an incorrect other shock.
Please contact the shock manufacture if you have any warranty issues with your shock.
the main air spring controls the sag of the shock.
For the SV to ride properly it is important to
setup the shock with the correct amount of sag.
For general riding the SV works best with
25-30 % (16-19mm ) of shock sag. to increase
the sag reduce the main spring air pressure.
to reduce the sag increase the main spring air
pressure.
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. w ith 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-r ing).
this is your sag.
3. REBOUND
the rebound adjustment has 14 clicks of adjustment.
the rebound knob is the red adjustment dial located
above the blue crompression damping 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.
a djustments that are too slow
(clockwise adjustment) will cause packing of the rear
wheel indicated by a sluggish ride feeling ride.
s lower rebound- turn the knob clockwise
Faster rebound- turn the knob counter-clockwise
*a ll clicks are counted clockwise, rotating from the all the way out or counter - clockwise dial position.
4. COMPRESSION DAMPING
5. TRAIL ADJUST
the trail adjust dial controls the “trail” mode low
speed compression adjustment. it has three
levels of adjustment and is controlled by the
black dial on the shock body. turning the dial
clockwise increases low speed compression
damping, making the shock feel stiffer under low
speed compressions. turning the dial counter-
clockwise will decrease low speed compression
damping, making the shock feel softer under low
speed compressions. p lease note this adjustment
only affects the shock performance while riding in
“trail” mode.
the compression dampening has three levels
of adjustment and is controlled by the blue
lever on the shock.
the “climb” mode engages
the “trail” mode
engages a moderate low-speed compression
and bike control, on various riding terrain.
Finally, the “descend” mode sets the low-speed
compression setting to fully open, for maximum
bike control and shock absorbency on steep,
aggressive descents.
