External Rebound Adjustment
Rebound damping controls the speed at which a fork returns to its full extension
following 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. Turning the adjuster in the direction indicated by the "turtle" increases
rebound damping, slowing the return of the fork to full extension.
Excessive rebound damping will cause the fork to "pack up" over successive bumps ,
reducing travel and causing the fork to bottom out. Set your fork to rebound as fast as
possible without "topping out" or kicking back. This allows your fork to follow the
contours of the trail, maximizing sta b i l i t y, traction and control.
Setting Sag
RockShox forks are designed to sag when you are sitting on your bike. Sag is
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. Sag is adjusted by increasing or
decreasing the positive air pressure of your fork. Increasing the pressure in your
positive chambers will decrease sag. Decreasing the pressure in your positive air
chamber will increase sag.
To measure sag, use the travel indicator on the upper tube of the fork and ensure it is
flush against the wiper seal. For Air U-Turn, ensure travel is set at the maximum (see
"Changing Travel"). 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 travel indicator. This distance is
your sag. The sag should be approximately 20 percent of maximum travel. Example:
For 115mm maximum travel, 0.20 x 115mm = 23mm sag distance.
Changing Travel
To change the travel of your fork for 85mm, 100mm or 115mm you must perform a full
service on your fork. To obtain service information or instructions, visit our website at
w w w.rockshox.com or contact your local RockShox dealer or distributor.
To change the travel of your fork anywhere between 85mm and 115mm, turn the Air U-
Turn knob (top left knob on fork). Clockwise rotation reduces the travel of the fork.
Counterclockwise rotation increases the travel of the fork. The new travel setting can
be seen by looking at the travel marking that remains exposed on the left upper tube
when not sitting on the bike. The reduced travel setting will have slightly lower bottom
out force, therefore additional compression damping may be desired.

ENSURE THE FORK IS COMPRESSED ONCE AFTER SITTING FOR MORE THAN A DAY AND IN
POSITION BEFORE TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT
To maintain the high performance, safety, and long life of your fork, periodic
maintenance is required. If you ride in extreme conditions, maintenance should be
performed more frequently.
