SUSPENSION PUMP
Use for setting the air pressure
correctly. See page 18 and read the
instructions carefully.

Allows for a precise measurement of
shock hardware and spacers
TORQUE WRENCH
All bolts must be tightened using
correct torque. See the TORQUE

ALLEN AND TORX BITS
Allen and torx bits are necessary for
the entire frame and bike. Bits must be
used in combination with a torque

REAR SHOCK
INSTALATION
step 3
Carefully push the bushing in, using a
vise makes the process easier. Apply
grease
step 4
Make sure the reducer bushing is flush
with the shock body
step 5
Insert the eyelet hardware in the other
eyelet. Do not remove the flanged
bushings!
step 2
Install the eyelet reducer bushing in
the eyelet closer to the shock
piggyback
step 6
Preload the assembly in the shock
eyelet using a vice or a press
step 1
Check the type of rear shock you have
– in case of questions regarding
compatibility, contact us

step 7
step 10 step 11
step 8 step 9
step 12
Make sure that the entire eyelet
assembly measures 30 milimetres
(within 0.03mm of negative tolerance)
The piggyback and the air valve
should be on the non-drive side of the
bike
Tighten the lower shock bolt in the
lower suspension link (apply 8-10 Nm
of torque)
Rotate the shock stanchion so that the air
valve is on the same side as the shock
piggyback, and the lower eyelet is
perpendicular to the upper eyelet
In order to install the rear shock,
remove the rear wheel from the frame
and insert the shock from the
swingarm side
Tighten the upper shock bolt in the
upper suspension link (apply 8-10 Nm
of torque)

step 2
Use Teflon grease on the wheel axle
step 3
Set the wheel in the correct position, insert the
axle and tighten it (apply 12 Nm of torque)
step 4
If the seatpost cable prevents it from being
removed, push the cable from the other side
step 1
Remove the plastic pad spacers before installing
the wheel. Remember to always install them in
the brake caliper whenever the wheel is removed

step 3
Tighten the stem clamp bolts using appropriate
torque (consult your stem manufacturer for the
torque figure). Make sure not to overtighten the
bolts, as applying too much torque can damage
the handlebar
step 1
Tighten the stem bolts using appropriate torque
(consult your stem manufacturer for the torque
figure). Use a torque wrench
step 2
Tighten the seatpost clamp bolt (apply maximum
of 4-5 Nm of torque). Use a torque wrench

SUSPENSION
SETUP
FLOATING DAMPING SYSTEM
SUSPENSION SETUP
FDS 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. For the FDS 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.
Air suspension can be adjusted with the help of a suspension pump shown on page 10. In the case of coil
sprung suspension, the sag is set by using a spring of appropriate firmness for the user's weight and riding
style

SUSPENSION
SETUP
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
