Shock Sag
Compression Damping
Rebound Damping
Spring Rate
The amount by which the shock compresses with the rider
seated in the normal riding position. The recommended amount
of sag is generally 20-30% of the total shock travel.
The damping force generated by the shock as it is being compressed. Generally, compression damping is speed sensitive,
meaning the faster the shock travels the higher the force of
compression damping it produces.
The damping force generated by the shock as it returns to full
extension.
Dened as the amount of force required to compress the spring
a given amount. Generally it is referred to in pounds per inch
(lbs/in.)

Spring Set-up for Air Shocks and Coil shocks
: Shock Sag (all Air and Coil models)
Note: If your Bicycle Manufacturer provided directions on setting the sag, please follow these instructions.
Setting the correct sag allows your shock and frame design to work in harmony, ensuring the best possible performance from your rear suspension system. Please follow the instruction for this closely.
: Measuring Shock Sag, Air Shocks (O2, O2-Rpv, O2-RL, O2-RC, O2-PVA)
First, while the bike is in an unloaded state, slide the o-ring up to the air sleeves dust seal. Now sit on the bike in your
normal riding position. The air sleeve will push the o-ring down the damper body and it will stay at the sag position.
Let the bike return to an unloaded state. Measure the distance between the o-ring and the dust seal of the air sleeve to
obtain the amount of rider sag.
: Setting Shock Sag/ Spring Rate, Air Shocks (O2, O2-Rpv, O2-RL, O2-RC, O2-PVA)
1.Remove the air valve dust cap
2.Thread on your shock pump onto the valve until the gauge show pressure, be careful not to over tighten the pump.
3.If the sag is greater than that recommended by the bike manufacturer, add air pressure to the shock. If the sag is less
than the recommended amount, then release air pressure.
4.Unthread the pump from the shock and measure the sag again.
