air Pressure The main air spring controls the sag of the shock.

For the 575 to ride properly it is important to setup the shock with the

correct amount of sag. For general riding use 20-30% of the shock stroke

(5mm to 10mm). To increase sag reduce the main spring air pressure. To

reduce sag increase the main spring air pressure. Refer to the quick start

guide to get your starting air pressure.

saG Once you have set your baseline air pressure you need to

measure the sag. To measure the sag slide the travel indicator

(O-Ring) up against the shock body. With a friend supporting the bike, sit

on the saddle (do not bounce) and allow your body weight to compress

the shock. Once you have compressed the shock, get off the bike and

measure the distance between the shock body and the new position of the

travel indicator (O-Ring). This is your sag. Refer to the guide below for the

percentage of sag equivalents for the measurement recorded.

firm ride- 20-25% sag // Plush ride- 30% sag

PrO-Pedal The pro-pedal dampening has two settings and three

levels of adjustment and is controlled by the blue lever (formerly

the lock-out lever). The two settings are open and propedal. Use each

setting to adjust the shock for different riding conditions and situations. For

example use propedal for riding to the top of the mountain and then switch

to open for the descent.

The pro pedal knob has three different levels of dampening: (1) light, (2)

medium and (3) heavy pro-pedal. If the bike feels too firm, put it on a light

setting, and if it feels too sluggish, turn it to the stiffer setting.

rebOund The rebound adjustment has 8-10 clicks of adjustment.

The rebound knob is the red adjustment dial located above your blue

pro-pedal adjustment lever. As a general rule, adjustments that are too fast

(counter-clockwise adjustment) will produce a springy ride with excessive

kick-up of the rear end causing a bucking sensation. Adjustments that

are too slow (clockwise adjustment) will cause packing of the rear wheel

indicated by a sluggish ride feeling ride.

slower rebound- turn the knob clockwise

faster rebound- turn the knob counter-clockwise

what is PrO-Pedal? Pro-pedal is a compression tune that

gives the right amount of low-speed compression to filter out

unwanted rider-induced bob without sacrificing critical mid-

and high-speed damping. No flushing through your travel,

no wasted setup time, and no energy-sucking suspension

movement. just super efficient pedaling performance ready

for hits of any size.
