Sag is the amount the fork compresses when you are sitting on your bike while wearing your normal riding gear. It is Important to tune
the sag measurement of your fork because proper sag enhances the ability of the front wheel to follow the changing contours of the
terrain as you ride. Sag on your BoXXer fork should measure between 20 and 30 percent of maximum travel and is indicated by the
gradient marks on the drive side upper tube.
measuring sag
To measure sag, first adjust the compression damping features,

located at the top of the drive side fork leg, to their lightest settings.
To do this, turn each knob counter-clockwise (opposite the arrow
that reads "Hard") until it stops.
Have a friend securely hold your bike upright while you sit on the

bike, wearing your normal riding gear.
