COIL SHOCK SETUP
Step 1: Adjusting sag
 Proper sag should be achieved with one turn of preload on the spring. More then two turns of preload will require a higher spring rate or not enough
sag will require a softer spring rate. See spring rate chart for additional information or refer to the shock manual.

Step 2: Setting rebound
Adjust Rebound (red knob):
Rebound damping controls the rate at which the shock returns after it has been compressed.
 Clockwise for slower rebound (slow speed, bigger hits).
 Counter-clockwise for faster rebound (higher speeds, small bumps, more traction).
Step 3: Setting compression
Vanilla RC / R: Adjust low-speed compression (small blue knob):
Low-speed compression damping controls slower wheel movement, which helps in pedaling efficiency and bike attitude.
 Clockwise for a firmer platform and more efficient pedaling, greater resistance to small and medium bumps, more harshness.
 Counter-clockwise for a more active, supple reaction to terrain, less efficient pedaling, less harshness.
 Turn the compression adjuster knob to full firm and ride your bike for a while, then gradually reduce compression until it starts to feel too soft and
active for the terrain. Gradually increase compression until the optimal setting is found for the terrain and riding style.

NOTE: Air pressures, rebound and compression
settings are suggested starting point
recommendations only. They should be adjusted
according to the rider’s needs for each type of
terrain to achieve optimal performance.
