The proper air pressure will allow for the appropriate amount of sag. Sag is the amount the suspension compresses when supporting the rider, riding gear, and a portion of the bicycle. It is measured as a percentage, with the ideal percentage range being between 10-30% of the total available travel (less for shorter travel, more for longer travel). Setting up the suspension to achieve this will allow for maximum traction and an ideal suspension feel.
Volume adjusters, which we refer to as Bottomless Tokens or simply just "Tokens," allow you to change how easily the suspension is able to bottom out. Adding Bottomless Tokens makes it harder to bottom out. Occasional bottom-out is a good thing; it means that the suspension is being used to its potential. Excessive bottom-out can cause you to lose control.
Air pressure shouldn't need to change when adding or removing Bottomless Tokens. Always check sag to ensure the proper air pressure and check the maximum recommended amount of Tokens for your product.
The proper Rebound speed is one that allows the suspension to return to sag quickly enough to be ready for the next trail feature, but not so quickly that the suspension causes the bike and rider to bounce and lose traction.
Record your Rebound speed by counting the number of clicks or turns from the slowest setting.
Low Speed Compression (LSC) adds or removes resistance to compression when riding over non-impact-oriented features, such as berms, transitions, g-outs, and pump sections. Braking and shifts in body positioning also produce low-speed compression forces. Increasing LSC provides more support to maintain proper geometry and keep the suspension from advancing too far into its travel. Too much LSC can add harshness. Decreasing LSC leads to a softer-feeling suspension for more traction and small-bump compliance.
LSC is not a substitute for proper air spring pressure. Make sure sag is correct before making LSC adjustments. Record your LSC speed by counting the number of clicks or turns from the firmest setting.
Lock (L) mode prevents the suspension from compressing. Use Lock mode for maximum pedaling efficiency on smoother terrain.
