III - SPECIFIC MODELS

5 - ZESTY XM / ZESTY AM / SPICY / FROGGY (OST+)

Our OST+ technology (Optimized Suspension Technology), which was derived from the FPS2 system but
improved for longer travel, also has an indicator that helps set up the sag. The indicator is located on the left
side, on the seatstay. For the Zesty XM, Zesty AM, Spicy and Froggy, the SAG should be set up at between
20 and 30% of the travel of the shock. The set up is the same for these bikes:
5.1 - First make sure the indicator is right in front of « zero » when no one is seated on the bike. Do not
hesitate to adjust the position of the arrow if it is not properly aligned when no one is on the bike.
5.2 - Sit on the bike with your feet on the pedals and in riding position. (Leaning against a wall with your
elbow helps).
5.3 - Once you are balanced, the arrow should fall within the range that is indicated by hatchings on the
sticker. The right adjustment should be from 12 to 17 mm for Zesty, from 13 to 18 mm for Spicy and from 21
to 25 mm for Froggy.
If the indicator points out the hatched range while you are on the bike, you need to:
- Increase the air pressure inside the shock absorber with a high pressure pump or increase the preload
of the spring for spring shock absorber
- Decrease the air pressure or decrease the preload of the spring for spring shock absorbers.
More information about the ZESTY XM, ZESTY AM and SPICY:
- The SAG should be at 20% (position in the hatching zone) for a Cross-Country usage, since the
saddle angle is more upright and the suspension stiffer. This will allow you to "feel" the characteristics
of the terrain you are riding on.
- A set up closer to 30% (position in the hatching zone) corresponds to an Enduro usage. Angles are
more pronounced, so that your position is less upright and the suspension softer
For the SPICY TEAM:
The headset can be inversed to change the position on the bike.(See opposite).
