  • Page 34: Check Clearance

    Check Clearance ⚠WARNING ShockWiz™ must not contact the shock damper body, shock reservoir, bicycle frame, tire, components, or the rider during use. Contact while riding can cause ShockWiz to disconnect from the shock and could cause a crash resulting in serious injury to the rider. Sit on the bicycle to compress the shock.

  • Page 35: Shockwiz App

    ShockWiz App ShockWiz™ must be on to connect to the app. ShockWiz is motion-activated. Bounce the wheel, or compress the fork or shock one or two times, to turn ShockWiz on. A flashing LED on one side of the device will indicate ShockWiz is on.

  • Page 48 Calibration Wizard Select BEGIN and complete the Calibration process. Repeat the entire process if a second ShockWiz™ is installed.
  • Page 49 Calibration Wizard When complete, take a screenshot of your COMPRESSION RATIO and BASELINE AIR PRESSURE for future reference. SHOCK TRAVEL displayed should read 0%. If SHOCK TRAVEL displayed exceeds 3%, an error was made during calibration. The MARK BASELINE AIR PRESSURE process must be repeated. Go to SETTINGS and repeat the Mark Baseline Air Pressure procedure.

  • Page 50: Select Tuning Style

    Select Tuning Style ShockWiz™ offers four tuning styles that allow you to customize the ride and feel of your bike. Select TUNING STYLE. Balanced is the default setting.
  • Page 51 Select Tuning Style Select your preferred Tuning Style.
  • Page 52 Select Tuning Style The selected TUNING STYLE will display on the HOME screen. ShockWiz™ is now ready to analyze your suspenion.

  • Page 53: Ride Session

    Ride Session ShockWiz™ records your suspension's performance during the ride SESSION. ShockWiz wirelessly transfers data to the ShockWiz app while your connected smartphone is in close proximity to the ShockWiz device. ShockWiz must be 'on' for data to transfer to the smartphone app.
  • Page 54 Riding with ShockWiz ShockWiz™ requires DETECTIONS from suspension movement during a ride SESSION. ShockWiz records the set of DETECTIONS during the SESSION and analyzes suspension performance based on Compression Ratio, Baseline Air Pressure, Shock Travel percentage, and each movement that occured during the ride.
  • Page 55 Start New Session It's time to start a new SESSION and go for a ride! Select START NEW SESSION and go for a ride so ShockWiz™ can collect data to analyze. Selecting START NEW SESSION resets the ShockWiz data set and clears all SUGGESTIONS and DETECTIONS.

  • Page 56: Shock Tuning Score

    Shock Tuning Score When the ride SESSION is over, open the app and check your SHOCK TUNING SCORE. If you are checking the score of more than one suspension component, you must connect the app to each separately.
  • Page 57 Shock Tuning Score 95 - 100 Exceptional 85 - 94 Good 70 - 84 Adequate 55 - 69 Needs Improvement < 55 Poor To improve the SHOCK TUNING SCORE, select DETECTIONS to review suspension behaviors, and SUGGESTIONS to review recommended suspension adjustments to improve negative behavoirs.

  • Page 58: Suggestions

    Suggestions Changes are not recommended if a green bar is visible at OK. Changes are recommended if a yellow (small change) or red (large change) bar are visible. If 'Not enough data' is indicated, ShockWiz was unable to collect enough data during the SESSION to make a suggestion.
  • Page 59 Recommended Changes...
  • Page 60 Recommended Changes It is recommended to make one adjustment per SESSION, starting with the first suggestion at the top of the screen. For the best results, Baseline Air Pressure, Air Spring Ramp and Rebound should be 'OK' before making Compression damping and Bottom Out adjustments. One adjustment may change the results of another after the following SESSION.

  • Page 61: Detections

    Detections To further review your suspension performance, additional DETECTIONS are available. DETECTIONS are undesirable suspension performance behaviors. When detected, a SUGGESTION, or suspension adjustment, is made to improve that negative performance behavior. If ShockWiz™ did not collect enough data during a SESSION for a particular DETECTION, 'Not enough data' will be reported.
  • Page 62 Detections Select any DETECTION for more information about the suspension behavior associated with it.
  • Page 63 Detections...

  • Page 64: Removal

    Removal ShockWiz™ should be removed from the suspension when air spring and damping adjustments are complete and you are satisfied with the fork and rear SHOCK TUNING SCORE and suspension performance. Unthread the ShockWiz hose connector from the suspension fork or shock air inflation valve. The ShockWiz hose connector must be removed from the fork or shock first to avoid fork air pressure loss.

  • Page 65: Maintenance

    Maintenance Clean ShockWiz™ after use. Remove the rubber mounting boot and use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt and debris. Remove the battery to extend battery life. NOTICE Do not use a pressure washer. Do not use acidic or grease dissolving agents. Chemical cleaners and solvents can cause permanent damage to the electronics.
