External Rebound Adjustment (SL and XC)
Rebound damping controls the speed at which a fork returns to its f u l l e x t e n s i o n f o l l o w i n g
compression. Located at the bottom of the right fork leg is the rebound adjuster knob. Turning
the adjuster in the direction indicated by the "rabbit" on the rebound speed decal decreases
rebound damping, causing the fork to return to full extension faster. Tu r n i n g t h e a d j u s t e r i n t h e

Setting Sag
Pilot forks are designed to sag when you are sitting on your bike. Sag is the
compression of the fork caused by the rider's weight. Proper sag allows the front
wheel to follow the contour of the terrain as you ride.

Pilot C: Sag is adjusted by turning the top cap preload adjuster. Turning the adjuster
clockwise increases spring preload (i.e., stiffening the spring), decreasing sag. Turning
the adjuster counterclockwise decreases spring preload which increases sag.
All Forks: To measure sag, install a zip tie on the upper tube of the fork flush against
the wiper seal. Sit on the bike with normal riding appa r e l . St e p o ff the bike, and
measure the distance between the wiper seal and the zip tie. This is your sag. The

Turning the compression adjuster on the PopLoc Adjust
sets how far the lever returns from 'Lock' toward the 'Open'
position. This adjustment changes the amount of
compression damping found in the 'Open' position.
