Contact a FLYER dealer who will inform
you about the correct settings for the
suspension elements. A table showing all
of the setting recommendations for the
coil springs can be found on this website:

Sag
The suspension elements are provided
with a lockout to be used when required
on steep asphalt rises to suppress spring
compression and bobbing up and down.
The following adjustment operations can
only be undertaken with the lockout open.
“Sag” is the distance by which the suspension ele-
ment is compressed when the rider is positioned
centrally on the bike. The sag preloads the suspen
-
sion element and keeps the rear wheel on the ground
under light load and over slight bumps. This improves
grip on the ground and traction on rough terrain.
As a rule, sag accounts for 25% of the available
overall suspension travel.
To set the sag for your suspension element prop
-
erly, you must rst set the suspension hardness/air
pressure. Adjusting the air pressure also changes
the overall stiffness of the suspension element.
The more you pump up the suspension element
the harder it becomes. To set the suspension el
-
ement optimally between the give recommended
by the manufacturer and the desired stiffness, ob
-
serve the following setting instructions:
Adjusting sag
Ensure that the pressure levels at the fork and shock
absorber are open, i.e. set to the “Open” position.
Inate the air chamber as described in the table.
To deate the air chamber, rst unscrew the valve
cap. Now you can either press the air valve down
or press the air-release lever on the air pump.
The air pressure in the rear suspension
element must not exceed the maximum
value stated in the associated operating
instructions.
On some forks, recommended air pressure val
-
ues are stated.
1. Other air pressures or settings may
be required. Example: Different riding
styles and uses call for a different air
pressure and a different level of give.
Accordingly, this adjustment proce
-
dure serves only as a starting point.
2. The valve cap on the suspension element
must always be tted when riding, to pre
-
vent any dirt from entering the valve.
Push the 0-ring for the suspension travel indicator
against the air chamber/the bottom fork plunger tube.
Carefully position yourself centrally on the bike
and then dismount.
Important: if you place too great a load on the bike
when getting on and off, you will obtain incorrect
measurement values.
Check the position of the 0-ring on the suspension el-
ement's housing. Check that sag is in the 25% range.
If give is lower than the value recommended by
the bicycle manufacturer, i.e. the suspension
element is compressed by less than 25%, you
should reduce the air pressure. If give is greater
than the value recommended by the bicycle man
-
ufacturer, you should increase the air pressure.
The air pressure in the rear shock absorber must
not exceed the maximum value stated in the as
-
sociated operating instructions. Ret the air cap.
Adjustable rebound
The rebound governs the speed at which the
suspension element is fully extended again after
compression. The suspension elements are pro
-
vided with a red rebound adjuster, which is used to
set the desired rebound. The suspension element
springs back out most rapidly when the adjuster
knob is turned out anti-clockwise to the end of its
travel. It springs back out most slowly when the
knob is turned in clockwise to the end of its travel.
Setting rebound
The starting point for setting rebound can be de
-
termined at a kerb.
Before proceeding to set suspension re-
bound, you must rst have set the give in
the suspension.
Carry out this test in a safe area away
from trafc!
Turn out the rebound adjuster anti-clockwise to
the end of its travel.
Ride down over a kerb, remaining sitting on the
seat. Count the number of times the suspension
element springs back. The suspension element
should be adjusted so that it only springs back once.
If the suspension element springs back more
than once, turn the rebound adjuster one click
clockwise. Ride down over the kerb again
and count again how often the suspension
element springs back. Repeat this step until the
suspension element only springs back once.
Take a note of how many clicks (or turns) you
bring the adjuster out anti-clockwise from the end
of its travel. This is your rebound setting.
