shock setup

Inspect your shock for any visible damage. 
If oil is leaking or you notice any damage to 
the surfaces or seals, please contact the Fox 
Racing Shox service center for repair at 800.

Shock set-up can fluctuate greatly based on 
the rider. The set-up guide is intended as a 
base line to get the rider started.  Experiment 
with your settings to find the set-up that 
works best for you.

03. pro pedal rp23

The main air spring controls the sag of the shock. 
For the ASR-C to ride properly it is important to 
setup the shock with the correct amount of sag. 
For general riding the ASR-C works best with 20-
30 % (7-11MM) 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. 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.  

The pro-pedal dampening has four levels of adjustment and is controlled by the blue lever and the numbered 
black dial. 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 four different 
levels of dampening on the shock are: (0) open, (1) light, (2) medium, and (3) firm 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. We have found 
that the ASR-C rides best with the pro-pedal in the medium setting for climbing and the open setting for 
descending.
