We are almost ready to rip. Just a few
more checkpoints and adjustments
to ensure the performance and ride
characteristics of the Tracer Carbon is
optimised for you.
Tools needed
• shock pump
• small ruler or measuring device
recommendation
When setting up the suspension sag,
ask a fellow ripper to help. but if
alone, using a wall to lean your
shoulder against will do just fine.

make sure to insert seat post at least 4" into the main frame. Anything less than
this amount could cause damage to the frame or even failure.
m a n u a l
setting the sag
1.
Remove fork and shock air caps and be sure you have a shock
pump and a small ruler or measuring device handy.
2.
Go ahead and hop on the bike. Be sure to place all your weight on the
seat with the dropper in the up position and both hands on the grips.
3.
Give the bike 5-6 moderate bounces and sit back down on the saddle.
4.
Now have your friend slide both the rear shock and the front fork
o-rings down against the seal lip of the damper bodys (IMAGE #1).
5.
Step off the bike nice and easy. Be sure to not compress the suspension
after the o-rings have been set.
Pro Tip
Here is where having a friend helps. Have them straddle the front wheel and pull
the handle bars in a upward direction as to not allow the suspension to compress
as you get off (image #4).
6.
Using your measuring device, measure the gap between the suspension
seal lip and the o-ring. Using the chart on the following page will tell you
if you need more air pressure or less air pressure (IMAGES #2, #3).
7.
Adjust air pressure with your shock pump accordingly (IMAGE #5).
8.
Re-visit steps 2-6 until your desired sag measurement have been reached.
9.
Install valve caps.
10. Go ride your bike!
