  • Page 5 Platform Valve On bikes equipped with a Manitou Stable Platform Valve™ (SPV)™ rear shock, you can adjust the bike’s pedaling efficiency by increasing the air pressure in the SPV air cartridge. Increasing the air pressure will resist pedal-induced bobbing. Decreasing the air pressure will make the suspension more sensitive to small bump forces.

    FRONT SUSPENSION TRAVEL & SAG GUIDE To determine bike’s front suspension travel adjustments and recommended settings, please refer to the fork manufacturer’s technical manual. A suspension fork is effective at both absorbing bump forces and helping the tire to track the ground for improved traction and braking control. When in active mode, a fork will rely on sag to keep the front tire in better contact with the ground during braking.

  • Page 8: Maintenance

    Maintenance General Maintenance Inspect all suspension bolts and tighten if necessary to required torque settings. Do not use high-pressure water sources to wash or rinse bicycle. Doing so can displace any lubricants that are present, as well as possibly forcing water and/or contaminants into the bearing that can harm the pivot and bearing, reduce performance, and cause premature wear.
