Summary of Contents for DAHON X-FUSION

  • Page 1 USER’S MANUAL...
  • Page 2 Congratulations on your purchase of this X-Fusion shock absorber. As a manufacturer and designer of innovative, high-end cycling products, our reputation for quality and performance is built upon the thorough testing of every product to ensure it’s function and durability.
  • Page 3 : contents English Deutsch Italiano Español Français...
  • Page 4 All X-Fusion shocks utilize a high pressure nitrogen charge. Do not attempt to open or service the shock as discharging the pressure is dangerous and can cause serious personal injury or damage to the product.
  • Page 5 Shock Sag The amount by which the shock compresses with the rider seated in the normal riding position. The recommended amount of sag is generally 20-30% of the total shock travel. Compression Damping The damping force generated by the shock as it is being com- pressed.
  • Page 6 Spring Set-up for Air Shocks and Coil shocks : Shock Sag (all Air and Coil models) Note: If your Bicycle Manufacturer provided directions on setting the sag, please follow these instructions. Setting the correct sag allows your shock and frame design to work in harmony, ensuring the best possible perfor- mance from your rear suspension system.
  • Page 7 100psi and 250psi. Do not exceed 300psi. Make note of the air pressure for easy set up next time. : Negative Spring Note: The negative spring air pressure for all X-Fusion Air Shocks is set automatically at the time of assembly. There is no need or provision for adjustment.
  • Page 8 The DC air sleeve can be rotated 360° to allow for an interference free frame fit. To rotate the air sleeve simply let the air out of the main air chamber, turn the air sleeve to the desired location and re-pressurize the shock.

  • Page 9 indication that a stiffer spring rate is needed. Never attempt to compensate for too soft a spring rate by over pre-load- ing a spring. This will damage the spring and could result in injury to the rider. : Changing Springs 1.
  • Page 10 quicker. When rebound damping is set correctly the shock will return quick enough to keep time with the bumps of the trail. If a shock is returning too slowly, the shock will compress upon bump impact but will not return to full extension in time for the next bump impact. This will result in a harsh ride due to the fact that the rebound damping is holding the shock down into a stiffer part of the spring curve.
  • Page 11 : Compression Damping/PowerValve Adjust (O2-PVA, Vector-RC) The PowerValve damping system controls rider induced suspension movement and delivers a firm, stable pedaling platform, ensuring a higher level of rider efficiency. The PowerValve adjustment feature is the external adjustment of the PowerValve system. This adjustment gives the rider the ability to increase or decrease the damp threshold of the PowerValve to best optimize the shock performance for specific riding conditions.
  • Page 12 : Vector-RC Turn the blue knob clockwise until you contact a positive stop. This is the max threshold damping position (firmest). As you turn the blue knob in a counterclockwise direction from the max position, you will progressively decrease the amount of threshold damp- ing, making the shock softer in the initial part of the stroke.
  • Page 13 : Maintenance X-Fusion shock absorbers are high performance products. The hydraulic dampers are not designed to be serviceable by the end user. DO NOT PUNCTURE, EXPOSE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES or DISSASSEMBLE. The Manufacturer’s warranty will be VOID if the hydraulic damper is opened by an unauthorized person. Improper assembly of a shock could result in an accident or serious injury.
  • Page 14 Note; Inspect the shock damper shaft for sighs of excessive oil leaking from the main body seal head. If excessive oil is present, the shock will have to be sent to an authorized X-Fusion Service Center for a complete rebuild.
  • Page 15 • Add lubrication to the main piston, piston rings an seals. “Slick Honey” or a non-lithium grease should be used. A light smear of grease on the air sleeve threads will help on assembly. • Slide the air sleeve over the main shock body and then clamp the eyelet of the main body in a vise.
  • Page 16 : GUARANTEE The warranty period for all X-Fusion shocks is 24 month starting from the original date of purchase and is valid for all countries of the European Community. A copy of the original purchase receipt must accompany each shock that is sent for repair under these warranty terms.
  • Page 17 Damage to interior or exterior caused by improper cable routing, seatpost, rocks, crashes or improper installation. Oil changes or service not performed by X-Fusion or an Authorized Service Center. Coil bind / Excessive spring preload (three turns maximum) Unless otherwise specified.
  • Page 18 : Disclaimer X-Fusion is not responsible for any damages to you or others arising from riding, transporting, or other use of your shock or bicycle. In the event that your shock breaks or malfunctions, X-Fusion shall have no liability or obligation...
