as doing so can cause damage to the spring and internal workings of the shock.
Suspension Settings and Recommendations (coil shock-equipped bikes)
Faith with Maestro™ (8" rear suspension travel)
Giant's Maestro rear suspension design precisely positions the pivots and linkages to give
you efficient pedaling and small bump compliance. Maestro's pivot placement allows the rear
suspension to be completely active under braking, allowing the rear wheel to react constantly
to the terrain.
Maestro-equipped mountain bikes rely on rear suspension "sag". Sag (see Basic Terms &
Shock Set-Up Overview on page 6) is a critical performance component and is relative to the
individual rider's weight. See previous sag setting instructions on page 11 for details.
Faith's frame design and travel is intended for aggressive freeriding and recreational/competi-
tive downhill riding. The sag range can accommodate a wide variety of riding styles and terrain.
