WARNING
WHEN APPLICABLE, AVOID
RIDING WITH THE REAR
SHOCK AND FORK ALWAYS
LOCKED OUT.
USE THE LOCK OUT FUNCTION
ONLY WHEN NECESSARY,
SUCH AS DURING LONG
CLIMBS OR WHEN RIDING ON
SMOOTH TERRAIN.
IF THE SUSPENSION IS
LOCKED OUT DURING
DESCENTS, YOU COULD
CAUSE INJURY TO YOURSELF
OR YOUR BIKE.
WARNING
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
PRESSURE INDICATED
ON YOUR REAR SHOCK
ABSORBER.
WHEN IN DOUBT, REFER
TO THE MANUFACTURER’S
OWNER’S MANUAL FOR YOUR
REAR SHOCK OR FORK.
IF YOU STILL HAVE
QUESTIONS, DON’T
HESITATE TO CONTACT YOUR
AUTHORIZED LAPIERRE
DEALER.
2 - EDGE XM/ EDGE AM
For the best performance, here are some adjustment and setting tips:
1 - Correctly adjust your riding position.
2 - Choose a tire pressure that is appropriate for weather and terrain conditions.
Refer to the pressure guidelines indicated on the tyres. If you wish to increase comfort, decrease the pressure.
For better performance and more efficiency, increase the pressure. This can also reduce the risks of a flat.
We consider that an average of 2,5 bars is a good pressure setting for a person weighing around 75 kg.
3 - Adjust the sag of the rear shock absorber. (Sag is where the travels sits when the rider is on the bike.)
To make sure the suspension will properly work, the sag and rebound speed must be set up according to
your weight and riding.
The average set up of the sag should be between 20 and 30 % for the rear shock absorber, that is to say
between 10 and 15 mm for the Edge XM and 11 and 17 mm for the Edge AM. You can use as an indicator the
o-ring on the shaft to do so. Sit on the bike with your equipment (hydration bag, etc.) with your feet on the
pedals and in riding position (having someone hold the bike for you and leaning against the wall with your
elbows will help), bounce slightly and make sure the o-ring is against the air sleeve.
Then get off your bike slowly so as not to compress the suspension.
Measure the distance between the o-ring and the shock absorber; this distance is what we call sag and
should be between 10 and 15 mm for the Edge XM and 11 and 17 mm for the Edge AM.
Depending on the kind of ride that you are seeking, you can adjust the air pressure in the rear shock
absorber to vary the sag. If you are looking for reaction and precise steering, you should opt for a sag close
to 20 %, that is to say 10 mm. On the other hand, if you seek more comfort and stability in descents, 30 %
(15 mm) will be more suitable.
The rebound speed should be set up according to your type of riding. If the terrain is steep, it has to bounce
fast, if it is flat, it can be slowed down. However be careful and set it up within reasonable limits.
These set ups are important. Do not hesitate to ask advice from your dealer.
In order to set up the suspension, the shock absorber has a red lever that must be tightened to slow down,
and vice versa. Make sure you never exceed maximal pressures indicated on the shock absorber.
