SAG

The SAG should be 14mm (700) respectively 12.5mm (900 / 700 Plus) on the shock piston. 

To check the adjustment, please follow as shown below:

1.  sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal  

2. put your feet back on the ground and stand over the bike without bouncing the bike 

during this action

3. check if the o-ring (S9) on the shock piston (S8) has a distance of 14/12.5mm to the main 

dust wiper/seal between shock housing and piston.

 

-

if the distance between the o-ring and the main dust wiper/seal is 14/12.5mm, the air 
pressure is matching to your weight

 

-

if the distance between the o-ring and the main dust wiper/seal is less than 14/12.5mm, 
the air pressure of the air chamber is too high and should be carefully reduced by using 
the bleed knob of the shock pump until the distance is 14/12.5mm.  

 

-

if the distance between the main dust wiper/seal is bigger than 14/12.5mm the air 
pressure of the air chamber is too low and should be increased by using the shock pump 
until the distance is 14/12.5mm.

 

SET-UP OF REBOUND FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD SHOCK

“Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after absorbing 
an obstacle.

By using the rebound adjuster knob (S4) you can adjust the rebound step by step.

Please refer to the following instruction:

Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it bounces.

 

-

If it bounces 1-2 times, the set up is good.

 

-

If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks” 
clockwise

 

-

If it does not bounce the rebound is too slow. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks” counter 
clockwise.

IMPORTANT!

Note that you have to mount the FOX Nude Shock always as shown below. 

Mounting the rear shock in a different position can cause severe damage to the frame, the 
linkage levers and the rear shock. 

Same for the FOX CTD on some of the Genius models.

IMPORTANT!

After a dismantlement of the rear shock, both fixing bolts should be tightened with a 
tightening torque of 10Nm/88in-lbs.

If this is not done correctly the rear shock can be damaged.
