REAR SHOCK SAG SETTING
To achieve the best performance from your FOX
suspension, adjust the air pressure to attain
your proper sag setting. Sag is the amount your
suspension compresses under your weight and
riding gear. Sag range should be set to 25–30%
of total shock travel.
1. Make sure the compression adjuster is
in the Soft (open) position.
2. Start by setting the shock air pressure
(psi) to match your weight in pwounds.
With the air pump attached to the
shock valve, slowly cycle your shock
through 25% of its travel 10 times as
you reach your desired pressure. This
will equalize the positive and negative
air chambers and will change the
pressure on the pump gauge.
Do not exceed 350 psi, the
maximum Live rear shock air
pressure!
3. Remove the pump.
4. Sit still on the bike in your normal
riding position, using a wall or a tree
for support.
5. Pull the sag indicator o-ring up against
the rubber air sleeve seal.
6. Carefully dismount the bike without
bouncing.
7. Measure the distance between
the sag indicator o-ring and the
rubber air sleeve seal. Compare your
measurement to the 'Suggested Sag
Measurements' table.
8. Add or remove air pressure until you
reach your desired sag measurement.
