
Only adjust the negative deflection when the bicycle is
stationary.
 The setting wheel may be located under a plastic
cover on the suspension fork crown. Remove the
plastic cover by pulling it off upwards.
 Turn the negative deflection setting wheel in a
clockwise direction to increase the spring pre-
tensioning.
Turn the negative deflection setting wheel in an
anti-clockwise direction to reduce it.
 The ideal setting in relation to the weight of the rider
has been achieved when the shock absorber
deflects 3 mm under the stationary load of the rider.
 If applicable, re-attach the plastic cover after
setting the suspension fork.

Adjusting the air suspension fork negative deflection

Alternative
Riding without filling pressure will destroy the wheel
suspension, the frame and the air suspension
elements.
 Never ride without filling pressure in the air
suspension elements.
A normal air pump cannot build up the required
pressure with sufficient sensitivity.
 Use a special damper pump to adjust the filling
pressure.
The air chamber valve can be used to adjust the fork
suspension to the rider's weight and driving style.
