Setting Rebound Damping on the Fox Shocks
•
Rebound is set from the most open, fully counter-clockwise, position.
•
The rebound setting is determined by the air pressure in the shock.
•
Refer to the table below for the suggested rebound setting. The number in the chart refers
to how many clicks in clockwise from the open setting the rebound should be set. Fox sets
rebound from the closed position, so that has been provided in the table in parentheses.

Setting Air Pressure on the Fox 36 & 34 Forks
•
Fox recommends setting sag between 15% and 20% of the total fork travel. The proper sag mea-
surement for 140mm travel Fox 34 Forks is 21mm- 28.0mm. For 150mm travel Fox 36 forks the
proper sag measurement is 22.5mm-30mm.
•
The air pressure in the Fox 36 or the Fox 34 should not exceed 120 psi (8.3 bar).
•
To achieve the proper sag, reference the chart below for an initial starting point.
•
Through Pivot's testing, we have found that for some riders, the Fox recommended pressures are too
high and limit the ability to achieve full fork travel. The below chart is adjusted to reflect our recom-
mended pressures.
