Cycle Suspension

12.2.3 Adjustments
The following adjustment options are generally available:
Compression and rebound
Sag (compression under body weight)
Lockout (suspension locking feature)
12.2.3.1 Compression and rebound
Adjusting the compression and rebound influences the damping or response behaviour of
the suspension fork or rear suspension. The ratio between compression and rebound is
crucial. Depending on the cycle model, the suspension may only be equipped for rebound
adjustment. The ratio between compression and rebound is determined by the condition
of the road. A correctly adjusted ratio ensures optimum contact between the wheels and
the ground.
xHave the compression and rebound adjusted by your dealer.
12.2.3.2 Sag
Sag is the amount of compression caused by the rider’s body weight. Depending on the
model of the suspension fork or rear suspension, and depending on the intended use, the
Sag is adjusted to a value between 15 % and 40 % of the total suspension travel.
Sag is influenced by the spring preload. When the sag is optimally adjusted, the suspen-
sion will compress by 15 % to 40 % of its travel when the rider sits on the cycle.
The sag is determined by the spring preload or by the adjustable air pressure in the sus-
pension fork or damper. The spring preload or the air pressure therefore determine the
stiffness of the suspension and whether the chassis is hard or soft.
xHave your dealer adjust the suspension fork or rear suspension to your body weight
and riding style.
Have your dealer adjust the suspension fork / damper sag to suit your body
weight and riding style. This is usually dealt with through air pressure or by
replacing suspension elements.
