5 SETUP
5.1 SETTING THE SAG
The SAG (negative spring deflection) is the degree by which the shock compresses under the weight
of the rider. For a firm set up, 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 selec-
ted.

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.
This dimension is referred to as the SAG.
The SAG should be between 20% and 35% of the shock stroke and varies depending on use and
riding style (see Figure, top).
5. Adjust the air pressure if necessary. Repeat the steps above until the correct SAG is reached.
6. Screw the dust cap onto the valve.
