  • Page 9: Adjuster Basics

    Adjuster Basics Low Speed Compression (LSC) (-)Reducing LSC softens the bike’s suspension, allowing the bike’s shock to be more active over small bumps, gradual bermed corners and rollers. (+)Increasing LSC stiffens the shock for greater power transfer and increased pedaling efficiency High Speed Compression (HSC) (-)Reducing HSC allows the bike’s suspension to compress very quickly through its travel.
  • Page 10 Adjuster Basics Integrated 3mm Tool - All damper adjusters use a 3mm hex tool which is integrated into the valve body and held in place with magnets. Check that the tool is properly secured at every ride and ensure that both the tool and valve body are clean and free of debris when re-installing the 3mm tool.

  • Page 11: Frame Clearance

    Frame Clearance It is critical to check for clearance between your frame and shock at all points of travel during installation of the shock. The eye to eye and stroke measurements of the shock must match what is specified and approved by the frame manufacturer. Follow the steps below carefully to ensure proper clearances and avoid damage.

  • Page 12: Installation

    Installation Installation of the shock requires the use of the appropriate hardware for your specific frame. The mounting points of the shock are a standardized size and additional hardware is typically needed to fit the shock to each frame. Shock hardware may be needed to properly take up the width and thickness of the frame’s mounting points and bolts.
  • Page 13 Installation 1. With the appropriate hardware installed to the shock eyelets, mount the shock to the frame by first inserting the mounting bolts. Do not force the shock in place if there is any fitment interference with the frame. 2. Torque all mounting bolts to the frame manufacturer’s specifications.

  • Page 14: Coil Installation

    Coil Installation Selecting the appropriate spring rate is an important variable in achieving optimal set-up of a coil shock. Your ideal spring rate will be based on rider weight, frame design, and riding style. Riding on a spring that is not appropriate for your body weight can cause SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH and damage to the bike and shock.
  • Page 15 Coil Installation 210 Standard / 185 Trunnion (all 210 standard and 185 Trunnion shocks come with 1x 2mm spacer. Spacers are to be installed before the spring. Spacer Spring Preload Facing spring clip 230 Standard / 205 Trunnion (all 230 standard and 205 Trunnion shocks come with 2x 2mm and 1x 8mm spacers.

  • Page 16: Setting Sag

    Setting Sag Sag is the point at which your shock is compressed under neutral riding weight. This is the most important setting of your shock and will have the greatest impact on the shock’s effectiveness. Typical recommended sag for shocks is between 25% and 35% of the shock’s travel.
  • Page 17 Setting Sag Reducing Spring Preload Reducing the preload will decrease the ride height and increase sag. To reduce the preload on your spring, turn the spring preload clip counter-clockwise (Make sure the spring preload still has 1 full turn of preload engagement when reducing preload).

  • Page 18: Ramp Tube Adjustment

    Ramp Tube Adjustment The Tigon shock has a unique patent pending air spring, called the Ramp Tube. It is designed to add progression to the shock. This adjustment causes the spring rate to ramp up as the shock compresses into its travel which will further increase mid stroke support as well as bottom out resistance.
  • Page 19 Ramp Tube Adjustment Below are examples of how 10psi, 20psi, and 30psi increase progression as a shock compresses to bottom out. To use the ramp tube adjustment properly, is it critical to first set sag correctly, second, to ride the shock with 0psi and adjust rebound and compression settings to a desired feel, and third, to add air to the ramp tube until the desired progression of the shock is achieved.

  • Page 20: Service And Maintenance

    Service and Maintenance Extreme usage like downhill racing or ebikes may shorten service intervals. Every Service and Maintenance Hours or Ride Hours annually Check sag - Reset if necessary Clean and inspect shock exterior Clean with mild soap and water Inspect external air sealing surfaces for scratches or damage.
