9.2 Adjustments

9.2.1 Inline air pressure adjustment

The inline air is used to adjust SAG or rate of compression
due to the weight of the cyclist and during pedalling. The
inline air pressure is equal to the hardness of the spring; by
increasing the pressure the crushing of the suspension, due
to the cyclist's weight, is reduced. Vice versa by reducing this
pressure the crushing of the rear shock is increased.
• Remove the protection cap.
• Tighten the pump adapter on the valve and infl ate till
reaching the pressure you wish.
• Refi t the protection cap.
W !
ARNING
To keep the pressure inside the rear shock only use the
special MARZOCCHI pump with pressure gauge, which
can be purchased at any Marzocchi authorised centre.
The use of any other type of pump can jeopardise the
infl ating operation and cause malfunction or damage
to the rear shock with consequent accidents, personal
injury and even death.

For models with travel equal to or above 50 mm (2") the
inline air pressure can be reduced with respect to that stated
in the table by 1 bar (15 psi).

9.2.2 Rebound adjustment

With the rebound adjuster you can control the return speed
of the shock absorber after compression.
The right rebound speed setting makes the bike stable letting
it follow the variations in the terrain and any obstacles. If the
setting of the rear shock absorber is too reactive this will
make the rear suspension instable and the mountain bike will
have a tendency to snake. Too slow a setting however will
cause problems when dealing with multiple obstacles where
the suspension can't return to its fully extended position fast
enough between one obstacle and the next.The rebound
speed must be adjusted after you have adjusted the spring
preloading correctly. The rebound speed can be adjusted
with knob (R).
• By turning the adjuster in a clockwise direction the
hydraulic damping is increased, rendering the rear
shock slower in the rebound phase.
• By turning the adjuster in a counter-clockwise direction
the hydraulic damping is decreased, rendering the rear
shock more reactive in the rebound phase.

To change the setting of the compression braking always start
from the fully closed position (adjuster fully clockwise) and
note the number of "clicks".

Don't force the adjuster knob (R) beyond its limit of travel.
