REAR SUSPENSION SETUP
First check the spring rate-chart on this page to make sure that the spring fitted on
your 170mm (6.7") Öhlins TTX22M Coil rear shock is within range for your rider
weight. If the spring is too hard or too soft you will need to change it. Please see our
Tech Videos section on our website to see how to change the coil on your shock.

SETTING REAR SHOCK SAG
The optimal sag on your rear shock is 30% of the piston's movement inside the
shock body (stroke). The distance between the two shock mounting bolts (eye-to-
eye) without a rider on the bike is 205mm. Sag at 30% (of the shock stroke) equates
to a 19.5mm reduction in the eye-to-eye measurement. So the correct eye-to-
eye measurement for 30% sag on both of these shocks is 185.5mm (205-19.5 =
185.5mm). As a further adjustment you can preload the shock a minimum of 1.5
turns, and a maximum of 5 turns.
COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENTS
Adjust low speed: To adjust, turn the blue colored adjuster on the
side of the cylinder head. Turn clockwise to increase damping, turn
counterclockwise to decrease.
Adjust high speed: To adjust, turn the black colored adjuster on the
side of the cylinder head. Position (1) soft, (2) medium, (3) hard
The rebound adjuster for
the rear shock is a gold

dial located on the bottom

of the shock by the end of
the coil.
REBOUND
ADJUSTMENTS
SPRING (COIL)
To remove rebound
damping turn the dial
counterclockwise. This will
open the rebound valve and
increase the shock rebound
speed. To add rebound
damping turn the dial
clockwise. This will close
the rebound valve which
will slow down the shock
rebound speed.
Proper set up and tuning can vary from shock to shock. Please consult the Öhlins
manual included with your bike for complete information about set up, tuning and
general maintenance or visit ohlins.com
