Important Notes
These are factory baseline recommendations. Every rider and trail is different. Use these as your starting point and adjust by feel. If in doubt, start softer — you can always add pressure.
Enter your weight with all riding gear: helmet, pack, water, tools. For e-bike builds, the bike's extra weight is already factored into the E-bike riding style adjustment.
All pressures target 30% sag. Check sag with a shock pump after setting pressure. Adjust ±5 psi until you hit your preferred sag percentage within this range.
Stock air-shock configuration. For riders over 90 kg or aggressive style, consider adding 1–2 volume spacers for additional bottom-out resistance. HBO-equipped shocks may not need spacers.
