EPIC / ERA REAR SHOCK SETUP

1. Set sag:

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

Turn the Brain Fade knob (3) counter-clockwise to allow the shock to sag more easily.

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

Adjust air pressure until the desired sag is reached (verify following the steps on page 6 or the measurements below the air chart).

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

2. Adjust rebound:

The red knob (2) controls the rebound damping, the rate which the shock returns after the shock has been compressed.

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

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

3. Tune Brain Fade inertia valve:

Brain Fade is an inertia valve system offering a range of pedal platform efficiency. The blue knob

(3) controls the Race Tune inertia valve damping.

Turn the knob clockwise for a firmer, more efficient ride. Full clockwise is hardtail firm in smooth terrain.

Turn the knob counter-clockwise for a softer, more supple Trail Tune setting.
