4. SETUP
4.1 SETTING THE SAG
The SAG (negative spring deflection) is the degree by which the shock compresses under the weight of
the rider. For a firmer ride quality (cross country), a lower SAG (20% to 25% of the shock stroke) should
be selected. For the best possible downhill properties, a higher SAG (25% to 35% of the shock stroke)
should be selected.
shock length / stroke [mm]
185/55 / 210/55
185/50 / 210/50
165/45 / 190/45
165/40 / 190/40
1. Set the shock to "OPEN" mode and push the O-ring onto the wiper.
2. With full cycling equipment (helmet, backpack, shoes, etc.), sit on the bicycle.
3. Assume the normal position.
→ Only strain the shock with the weight of the rider and equipment.
→ Avoid sudden load impacts.
4. Get off the bicycle and measure the distance between the SAG O-ring and the wiper seal.
→ This dimension is referred to as SAG.
→ The SAG should be between 20% and 35% of the shock stroke and varies depending on use
and riding style (see image, top).
5. Adjust the air pressure if necessary. Repeat the steps above until you reach the required SAG.
6. Screw the dust cap onto the valve.
