1 - first make sure the indicator is right in front of « zero » when no one is seated on the bike. do not
hesitate to adjust the position of the arrow if it is not properly aligned when no one is on the bike.
2 - sit on the bike with your feet on the pedals and in riding position. (leaning against a wall with your
elbow helps).
3 - once you are balanced, the arrow should fall within the range that is indicated by hatchings on the
sticker. the right adjustment should be from 12 to 17 mm for Zesty, from 13 to 18 mm for spicy and from 21
to 25 mm for froggy.
if the indicator points out the hatched range while you are on the bike, you need to:
- increase the air pressure inside the shock absorber with a high pressure pump or increase the preload of
the spring for spring shock absorber
- decrease the air pressure or decrease the preload of the spring for spring shock absorbers.
more information concerning the zESTY and SPICY bikes:
- a 12mm sag for the Zesty, and 13 mm for the spicy are ideal for a cross country (xc) ride, since the saddle
angle is more upright and the suspension stiffer. this will allow you to "feel" the characteristics of the
terrain you are riding on.
- a 17 mm sag for the Zesty and 18 mm for the spicy are recommended for an "all mountain" (fr) ride.
angles are more pronounced, so that your position is less upright and the suspension softer
more information concerning FROggY:
the sag should be adjusted from 21 to 25 mm according to your riding style and the type of terrain.
for the froggy bikes that have a pressure set up system in the additionnal cylinder, please refer to the
user's manual and do not exceed the pressure recommended by the manufacturer (from 8,5 to 13 bars
for fox dHx shock absorbers). the higher the pressure, the better the control of the compression. a high
pressure is necessary if you want to do big jumps.
Please refer to the user's manual provided by the shock manufacturer to know more about the maintenance
of your shock absorber and precise set ups.
tips:
• Having someone check the position of the indicator for you will help you get the best setting, since there
may be an angle mistake when you are seated on the saddle.
• to check your setting, you can slightly bounce while you are on the saddle and check that the indicator
returns to the equilibrium point. also, in order to have the most precise setting possible, do not hesitate to
adjust your suspension while fully equipped (with helmet, hydration bag, etc.).
