When optimally adjusted, the fork counteracts
deflection on hilly terrain and stays higher in its
deflection range.
Figure 116: Optimum fork ride performance on hilly terrain
When optimally adjusted, the fork deflects quickly
and unhindered when the bike hits bumps and
absorbs a bump. Traction is retained (blue line).

The sag depends on the position and the rider's
weight and should be set based on preferences
and on how the pedelec is used.
Greater sag
A greater sag increases sensitivity to bumps, thus
producing greater suspension motion. A greater
sensitivity to bumps ensures more comfortable
ride performance and is used on pedelecs with
longer deflection.

This allows the rider to maintain the same speed
more easily on hilly terrain.
The fork responds quickly to the bump. The
headset and handlebars rise slightly when
absorbing a bump (green line).
Decreased sag
A decreased sag reduces sensitivity to bumps,
thus producing less suspension motion. A lower
sensitivity to bumps ensures a firmer, more
efficient ride performance and is generally used
on pedelecs with shorter deflections.
The adjustment shown here represents a default
setting. The default settings should change,
adapted to suit the surface and preferences.
It is advisable to make a note of the default
settings. These can then be used as a starting
point for subsequent optimised settings and as a
safeguard against unintentional changes.
