INSTALATION

NOSTER KINETICS suspension is a specific system, in which the proper kinematic operation occurs only when the sag
is set correctly. The system allows for high pedalling efficiency while remaining fully active on uneven
ground, as well as under braking. The correct sag is set by adjusting the air pressure or choosing the
correct coil spring firmness, appropriately for the user's weight.
Sag is the percentage of the suspension travel by which the suspension compresses when the user
assumes a stationary position on the bike. Suspension, sag should be around 20-30%,
depending on the riding style. If the riding area is mostly flat and not very bumpy, the lower value will be
a better choice as it provides more efficiency. For rough terrain, set the sag at the higher value.
For coil suspension shocks, the sag is set by using a spring of appropriate firmness for the user's weight and
riding style.

step 3
Repeat the process in the back.
step 1
When adjusting the suspension, wear all riding gear (such
as riding shoes, the helmet, and protective padding) in
order for your weight to be accurate. Stand on the pedals,
assume a riding position and use the help of another
person to stabilise the bike.
step 2
Once in the riding position, have your assistant push the
sag indicator all the way down, towards the suspension
seal. Carefully dismount the bike and measure the sag
value in relation to the full suspension travel.
step 4
If your bike is equipped with a coil sprung shock,
measure the eye to eye length of the shock while
standing on the pedals and subtract it from 210mm
(full shock length). The difference is your sag value.
Divide it by 55 to receive a percentage value.
