  • Page 6: Suspension Terminology

    Suspension terminology Shock Sag The amount by which the shock compresses with the rider seated in the normal riding position. The recommended amount of sag is generally 20-30% of the total shock travel. Compression Damping The damping force generated by the shock as it is being compressed. Generally, compression damping is speed sensitive, meaning the faster the shock travels the higher the force of compression damping it produces.

    Initial Setup (quickstart) Your VELVET R is simple to use and setup. X-Fusion recommends that you consult the AIR PRESSURE SETTINGS TABLE on the next page and fill the air chamber with the air pressure corresponding to your body weight, and set the REBOUND knob to 6 clicks IN from FULL OPEN.

  • Page 9: Setting Sag

    Setting Sag Sag is the compression of the fork caused by the rider’s weight. A proper sag setting is crucial for the performance of your fork. If sag is not properly set, your fork is not able to follow the contours of the trail. In the INITIAL SETUP (QUICKSTART) section, you ensured your VELVET R is pumped up to 70 psi.

  • Page 10: Setting Rebound

    Sag is determined by rider weight, and is adjusted by setting the pressure in the air chamber on the left leg of the VELVET R. Using an X-Fusion High Pressure Pump, you either add or remove air to obtain the correct pressure setting, and thus sag.
