To determine your bike’s specific front suspension travel adjustments and recommended settings,
please refer to the fork manufacturer’s technical manual.
A suspension fork is effective at both absorbing bump forces and helping the tire to track the ground for
improved traction and braking control.
When in active mode, a fork will rely on sag to keep the front tire in better contact with the ground
during braking. The chart on page 21 should be used as a general guideline.
AIR SPRUNG FORKS
As a general guide, pump the main chamber (main spring) to a psi equal to 60% of your rider weight in
pounds (2.2lb = 1kg). Adjust the fork's sag by using the same procedure used for accurately adjusting
the sag on your rear shock as described on page17.
