Adjusting the spring tension
If your bicycle features mechanical suspension with steel or titanium springs, you can usually
adjust the spring tension yourself if you have the necessary technical knowledge.
1. Remove the cover cap from the left stand tube, if present.
2. Turn the rotary knob on the stand tube:
- in a clockwise direction (+) to increase the spring tension.
- in an anti-clockwise direction (-) to decrease the spring tension.
Make sure that the spring tension is adjusted to the same stiffness setting on both
sides.
3. If you are unsure how to adjust the suspension or experience problems when doing so,
please consult your specialist dealer.
Lock-out function
Depending on the model, you can operate the lock-out function with a rotary knob on the
right stand tube of the suspension fork or with the remote control on the handlebar.
• Activate the lock-out function by turning the rotary knob one quarter of a turn in a
clockwise direction or by pressing the lock button.
• Deactivate the active lock-out function by turning the rotary knob one quarter of a turn
in an anti-clockwise direction or by pressing the lock button.
INFORMATION

You can use the lock-out function to lock the suspension fork completely, e.g. if you
are pedalling hard and the suspension is adversely affecting your progress or riding
comfort.
∙ Please note that the suspension can compress by up to 15 mm on uneven road
surfaces, even when the lock-out function is activated.
