Switching Off The Suspension - Ghost E-HYBRID TRAIL 9000 Operating Manual

You can purchase a suspension fork pump that is suitable for your EPAC from your specialist
bicycle dealer. If you do not have such a pump, have your suspension adjusted by your specialist
bicycle dealer.
With a lever on the handlebars (only for the E-Hybrid 4000 and E-Hybrid Street) you can almost
completely block the suspension of the fork - the fork tubes can then only compress and rebound
to a small extent.
WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
At a high speed, particularly when riding downhill on unpaved terrain, riding behaviour with a
blocked suspension fork is very poor. The front wheel may lose contact with the ground.
You should release the blocked suspension fork before riding (downhill).

Switching off the suspension

NOTE:
This section only applies to the EPAC types E-Hybrid 4000 and E-Hybrid Street.
With a lever on the handlebars (only E-Hybrid 4000 and E-Hybrid Street) you can almost completely switch
off the suspension of the fork. The fork tubes can only move in and out to a small extent.
WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
At a high speed, particularly when riding downhill on unpaved terrain, riding behaviour with the
suspension switched off is very poor. The front wheel may lose contact with the ground.
You should switch on the suspension fork before riding your EPAC fast (downhill).

The rule of thumb is: The suspension fork should sink in approximately 20 to 25% of the
total suspension travel distance when the rider sits on the bicycle in the riding position.
In the case of the forks used here with a suspension travel distance of 120 mm, this 20 –
25% corresponds to a value of 24 – 30 mm.
If you are not certain how to carry out the adjustment, please contact your specialist
bicycle dealer.
Screw the head of the suspension fork pump on to the connection of your suspension
fork.
Position of the connection: See the user information of the suspension fork manufacturer.
Continue pumping until you have reached the required air pressure.
Unscrew the pump head.
NOTE:
Unscrew the pump head quickly in order to keep the amount of air escaping (which can
be heard as hissing) as small as possible.
Switching off the suspension:
Press lever A until it locks in place.
Switching on the suspension:
Press lever B until lever A jumps back to the starting position.
