Specialized ENDURO SL, EPIC, EPA manual Enduro SL Shock Setup

ENDURO SL SHOCK SETUP

1.Set sag (A):

„„See the attached air chart for starting pressure. Use a high-pressure shock pump to add air.

„„Push the rubber o-ring up to the seal, sit on the bike gently, dismount gently and measure the distance between the shock seal and the o-ring (sag).

„„Adjust air pressure until desired sag is reached. (This can be verified following the steps on p.6 or the measurements below the air chart).

Air pressures may vary depending on rider style and/or terrain.

2.Adjust rebound (B):

The red knob (see figure below) controls the rebound damping, the rate which the shock returns after the shock has been compressed.

„„Turn the knob clockwise for slower rebound (slower speeds, bigger hits).

„„Turn the knob counter-clockwise for faster rebound (higher speeds, small bumps).

3.Adjust compression (C):

Specialized Enduro shocks are equipped with a spike valve to optimize the shock’s compression.

Low-speed compression (induced by rider’s body weight - pitching, diving) is adjustable by turning the blue lever (see figure below). The lever is adjustable from 1 (Soft) to 4 (Firm).

„„Turn the lever clockwise for a firmer ride. The 4 setting can be seen from the top of the lever, and F (Firm) is visible on the lever.

„„Turn the lever counter-clockwise for a more supple ride, more traction. The 1 setting can be seen from the top of the lever, and S (Soft) is visible on the lever.

NOTE: The spike valve system is a pre-set high-speed compression oil flow device configured to release a large volume of oil to prevent shock spiking at higher frequencies (terrain induced impacts).
