4.2 ADJUSTING THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE SHOCK
The values recommended here are merely a guideline. The air pressure should be adjusted in
accordance with the rider's personal preferences and via the correct SAG.

Maximum pressure: 17.9 bar / 260 psi!
The values in the table can vary considerably due to the bicycle's characteristics, riding style or
personal preferences.
4.3 INCREASING THE AIR PRESSURE
To increase the air pressure, a shock pump with a maximum pressure of 17.9 bar is required,
depending on the rider's weight.
1. Set the shock to "OPEN" mode (see Sec. 4.5 on page 16).
2. Unscrew the dust cap on the shock.
3. Screw on the shock pump and pump the shock up to the required
pressure.
→ Note the instructions issued by the shock pump's manufacturer!
4. With the shock pump still attached, slowly compress the shock ten
times through about 25% of its stroke.
→ This equalises the positive and negative air chambers.
→ Once the pressure displayed on the shock pump stops changing after compression, the two air
chambers have equalised.
5. Repeat the process until the desired pressure is displayed on the shock pump after compression.
6. Unscrew the shock pump and screw the dust cap onto the valve.
4.4 REDUCING THE AIR PRESSURE
1. Set the shock to "OPEN" mode (see Sec. 4.5 on page 16).
2. Unscrew the dust cap on the shock.
3. GRADUALLY press the valve insert with the back of the dust cap.
or
Screw on the shock pump and GRADUALLY reduce the air
pressure by pressing the release valve on the shock pump.
→ The shock can compress up to the point at which the
equilibrium of the positive and negative air chambers occurs.
