CAUTION
!
Crash caused by incorrectly set suspension
If the suspension is set incorrectly, the
suspension fork may become damaged, meaning
problems may occur when steering. This will
cause a crash with injuries.
 Never ride without air in air suspension forks.
 Never use the pedelec without adjusting the
suspension fork to the body weight.
Adjustments on the chassis change ride
performance significantly. The rider needs to get
used to the pedelec and break it in to prevent
accidents.
The sag depends on the position and body weight
and should be set based on preferences and on
how the pedelec is used.

 Follow the correct order for adjustment.

Greater sag
A greater sag increases sensitivity to bumps, thus
producing greater suspension motion. A greater
sensitivity to bumps ensures more comfortable
ride performance and is used on pedelecs with
longer deflection.
Decreased sag
A decreased sag reduces sensitivity to bumps,
thus producing less suspension motion. A lower
sensitivity to bumps ensures a firmer, more
efficient ride performance and is generally used
on pedelecs with shorter deflections. The
adjustment shown here represents a default
setting. The default settings should change,
adapted to suit the surface and preferences.
It is advisable to make a note of the default
settings. These can then be used as a starting
point for subsequent optimised settings and as a
safeguard against unintentional changes.
