Adjusting the air pressure in the shock
The values recommended here are merely guideline values. The air pressure should be adjusted
in accordance with the rider's personal preferences and via the correct SAG.

Maximum pressure: 23 bar / 333 psi!
The values in the table are based on a mean lever ratio of 2.5 and can vary considerably due to
the bicycle's characteristics, riding style or personal preferences.
5.3
Increasing the air pressure
To increase the air pressure, a shock pump with a maximum pressure of 23 bar is required,
depending on the rider's weight.
1.
Set the shock to "OPEN" mode (see chap.5.5).
2.
Unscrew the valve cap on the shock.
3.
Screw on the shock pump and pump the shock up to the
required pressure.
Note the instructions issued by the shock pump's manu-
facturer! When using the DT Swiss shock pump, see
chap.4.
4.
Slowly compress the shock with the shock pump screwed
on ten times by around 25% of its stroke.
This allows an equalization of the positive and negative air chambers.
Only once the pressure displayed on the shock pump stops changing after compression
are both air chambers equal.
5.
Repeat the process until the desired pressure is displayed on the shock pump after com-
pression.
6.
Unscrew the shock pump and screw the valve cap onto the valve.
5.4
Reducing the air pressure
1.
Set the shock to "OPEN" mode (see chap.5.5).
2.
Unscrew the valve cap on the shock.
3.
SLOWLY press the valve insert with the back of the
valve cap.
or
Screw on the shock pump and SLOWLY reduce the air
pressure by pressing the release valve on the shock
pump.
The shock can compress up to the point at which the
equalization of the positive and negative air chambers occurs.
