QUICK SETUP GUIDE
WHAT IS TRACTION TUNED?
We want to promote very responsive suspension performance, so we have developed Traction Tune for the Ripmo.
We recommend having high-speed adjustments wide open or close to it, and using just enough low-speed
damping to provide stability to the bike.
For maximum traction and performance, your front and rear suspension need to be balanced. To achieve
proper balance, you need to setup your suspension so it matches your style and the steepness of your terrain.
Here is the recommended procedure to get the most out of your suspension.
STEP 1
FORK TUNING
First, set your fork sag with your riding gear on. Determine the sag by picking a riding style listed
below. While in a standing position on the bike (see illustration), set the sag to the correct number
of mm. Use the starting guidelines from the chart below left, these will generally get you close
to 28% sag. You will likely need to raise or lower pressures to get the recommended setting.
28% / 45mm Sag:
Best for normal trail riding where efficient pedalling and a stable platform is required.
30% / 48mm Sag:
For aggressive riding in terrain that demands your attention.
32% / 51mm Sag:
Use for rough, steep, slippery trails when maximum control is a must.
IN MID 2020, WE STARTED SHIPPING DVO ONYX FORKS AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THE RIPMO AND RIPMO AF.

  • Page 2 OTT SETTING OTT EXPLAINED OTT (Off The Top) is a DVO Exclusive Performance Feature that delivers amazing traction, comfort and control matching a wide range of riders weights and skill levels. OTT allows the rider to independently adjust the initial 30mm’s of the travel by externally adjusting the tension on the negative spring in relation to the amount of air pressure in the main spring.
  • Page 3 Hexle: There is not a numerical torque figure for the Hexle. We recommend tightening the 5mm with your multi tool that you carry with you. This way you’ll be able to remove it in case of a flat out on a ride.
