4.2 ADJUSTING THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE SHOCK
The values recommended here are merely a guideline. The air pressure should be adjusted in
accordance with the rider's personal preferences and via the correct SAG.

Maximum pressure: 17.9 bar / 260 psi!
The values in the table can vary considerably due to the bicycle's chainstay characteristics, riding style
or personal preferences.
4.3 INCREASING THE AIR PRESSURE
To increase the air pressure, a shock pump with a maximum pressure of 17,9 bar is required,
depending on the rider's weight.
1. Set the shock to "OPEN" mode (see Sec. 4.5 on page 18).
2. Unscrew the valve cap on the shock.
3. Screw on the shock pump and pump the shock up to the
required pressure.
→ Note the instructions issued by the shock pump's
manufacturer!
4. Slowly compress the shock with the shock pump screwed on
ten times by around 25% of its stroke.
→ This equalizes the positive and negative air chambers.
→ Once the pressure displayed on the shock pump stops changing after compression, the two air
chambers have equalized.
5. Repeat the process until the desired pressure is displayed on the shock pump after compression.
6. Unscrew the shock pump and screw the valve cap onto the valve.
4.4 REDUCING THE AIR PRESSURE
1. Set the shock to "OPEN" mode (see Sec. 4.5 on page 18).
2. Unscrew the valve cap on the shock.
3. GRADUALLY press the valve insert with the back of the valve
cap.
or
Screw on the shock pump and GRADUALLY reduce the air
pressure by pressing the release valve on the shock pump.
→ The shock can compress up to the point at which the
equalization of the positive and negative air chambers
occurs.
