EPIC/ERA SHOCK SETUP

1. Set sag:
	Rider Weight
„„See the attached air chart for starting
			Air (PSI)
pressure. Use a high-pressure shock pump	lbs	(kg)
to adjust air.
	90-100	(41-45)	100-110
„„Turn the Brain Fade knob (fig. 2) at least
	100-110	(45-50)	110-120
one full turn counter-clockwise to allow
the shock to sag more easily, and set the	110-120	(50-54)	120-130
rebound to full fast (counter-clockwise).
	120-130	(54-60)	130-140
„„Push the rubber o-ring up to the seal, sit
	130-140	(60-64)	140-150
on the bike gently, dismount gently and
measure the distance between the shock	140-150	(64-68)	150-160
seal and the o-ring (sag).
	150-160	(68-73)	160-170
„„Adjust air pressure (A in fig. 1) until
	160-170	(73-77)	170-180
desired sag is reached (This can be
verified following the steps on p.6 or the
	170-180	(77-82)	180-190
measurements below the air chart).
	180-190	(82-86)	190-200
Air pressures and sag settings may vary
depending on rider style and/or terrain.	190-200	(86-91)	200-210
2. Adjust rebound:
	200-210	(91-95)	210-220
The red knob (C in fig. 1) controls the rebound
	210-220	(95-100)	220-230
damping, the rate which the shock returns after
	220-230	(100-104)	230-240
the shock has been compressed.
„„Turn the knob clockwise for slower rebound
	230-240	(104-109)	240-250
(slower speeds, bigger hits).
	240-250	(109-113)	250-260
„„Turn the knob counter-clockwise for faster
	250-265	(113-120)	260-275
rebound (higher speeds, small bumps).
3. Tune Brain Fade inertia valve:	265-280	(120-127)	275-290
„„Brain Fade is an inertia valve system	280-295	(127-134)	290-305
