Preload

To make the most of the fork's travel, the sag
given by the rider's weight must remain between
10% and 20% of the total travel length for the
XC forks and between 20% and 30% for the DH
forks.
To reach these values, you will need to use the
preload adjusters of the springs (see paragraph
5.1.1 for spring forks) or to modify the fork's
pressure (see paragraph 5.1.2. for air forks).

5.1.1 Spring preload

The fork is set to the minimum preload by the
manufacturer, i.e. the adjuster knob/screw is
completely turned counterclockwise. However, the
spring is slightly preloaded to help counteractining
static load.
By turning the knob (A) on the top of the fork's
leg, you can modify the spring preload to adjust
the initial setting according to the rider's weight
and needs.
• By turning the knob clockwise, the preload
spring can be increased up to the maximum
value, which corresponds
compression of about 15 mm.
• By turning the knob counterclockwise, you will
reduce the preload spring down to the
minimum value.
Do not force the adjustment knob past its limits
(A).
