REBOUND
Make sure to turn the Live Valve rear shock controller OFF before setting rebound for the first time. Once your rebound is
set, you can make adjustments with the Live Valve rear shock controller ON. The rebound adjustment is dependent on the air
pressure setting. For example, higher air pressures require slower rebound settings. Use your air pressure to find your rebound
setting. Start by turning the rebound knob so the arrow aligns with the recommended setting from the chart.

Rebound controls the rate of speed

Firm Mode Adjust (FMA) sets how firm
the shock is when the Live Valve is in
the Closed setting. Turn it clockwise
to increase the firmness of the system
when bumps are not detected. The
position of the FMA does not affect the
firmness of the shock when in the Open
configuration.
