The ideal setting in relation to the weight of the
rider has been achieved when the shock
absorber deflects 3 mm under the stationary
load of the rider. Reattach the cover after the
adjustment.
6.3.5.4 Adjusting the rebound
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The rebound defines the speed at which the fork
rebounds after being loaded. The rebound setting
depends on the air pressure setting. Higher sag
settings require lower rebound settings.
Turn the rebound adjuster clockwise to the
closed position until it stops.

Figure 59: Suntour rebound adjuster (2) on the fork (1)
Turn the rebound adjuster anti-clockwise.
Adjust the rebound in such a way that the fork
rebounds quickly, but without bottoming out
upward during testing. Bottoming out is where
the fork rebounds too quickly and stops moving
abruptly once it has reached the full rebound
distance. You will hear and feel a slight knock
when this occurs.

Adjusting the suspension of the
FOX fork
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
Crash caused by incorrectly set suspension
If the suspension is adjusted incorrectly, the fork
may become damaged, so that problems may occur
when steering. This will cause a crash with injuries.
Never ride the pedelec without air in the air
suspension fork.
Never use the pedelec without adjusting the
suspension fork to the rider's weight.
Settings on the chassis change riding
performance significantly. You need to get used
1
to the pedelec and break it in to prevent
accidents.
The adjustment shown here represents a basic
setting. The rider should change the basic setting
to suit the surface and his/her preferences.
It is advisable to make a note of the basic
setting. This way, it can be used as the starting
point for subsequent, optimised settings and to
safeguard against unintentional changes.
6.3.6.1 Adjusting the negative deflection
Negative deflection (sag) is compression of the
fork caused by the weight of the rider and their
gear (e.g. a backpack), the sitting position and the
frame geometry. This sag is not caused by riding.
Each rider has a different weight and sitting
position. The sag depends on the rider's position
and weight and should be between 15% and 20%
of the maximum fork deflection, depending on
pedelec usage and preferences.
When adjusting the sag, ensure that each
compression adjuster is in the open position, i.e.
turned clockwise until it stops.
The pressure is to be measured at an ambient
temperature of 21 to 24 °C.
The air valve is located under a blue cover on
the head of the left shock absorber. Screw off
the cover anti-clockwise.
Place a high-pressure pump on the valve.
