SETTING THE REAR SUSPENSION
Introduction to the rear suspension
Rebound knob (red)
Adjusts the rebound speed at which
the suspension returns to its initial
position after absorbing a hit.
2-position lever (blue)
Comfort mode
When the lever is in the “open” position,
the suspension works normally and
shocks are fully absorbed.
Platform mode
When the lever is in the“locked” position,
the suspension is more rigid and less
sensitive, limiting the pumping effect for
optimum pedalling.
Air valve
For adjusting air pressure according
to the rider’s weight.
Dust seal
For stopping impurities from
entering and conserving the
lubricating film on the shock body.
SAG adjuster
O-ring and indicator for checking
that the shock is set correctly in the
static position.

Before positioning yourself on the bike, you should inate the shock using a
high-pressure pump according to the presumed indications provided in the table
below.
Stand on the bike with the pedals in the horizontal position and your hands on the
handlebars in the attacking position. You can lean your elbow against the wall to
support the position or ask someone to stabilize your bike.
Slide the O-ring up to the shock dust seal, then get off the bike ensuring that you do
not compress the suspension while doing so. If necessary, repeat the operation by
adjusting the air pressure until the O-ring is aligned with the SAG adjuster.
For further information on the procedure, please refer to the user manual.

15Instructions TRAIL & GAME 2022
SETTING THE REAR SUSPENSION
Setting shock rebound
Having set your SAG, it is time to set the rebound!
Rebound controls the speed at which your suspension returns to the initial position.
It is set according to the number of clicks with the knob (red) from the open position
(knob completely unscrewed).
Please refer to the table containing the theoretical values.
The settings recommended by Moustache are indicated as the number of clicks from
the open position.
Note
This principle is valid for suspension forks, too.
sensation of
being catapulted
progressive
flattening
Case no. 1
If the shock rebound is set too fast,
it will return to its initial position too quickly, which will cause
a loss of grip. This will feel like riding on a trampoline or being
catapulted from the bike.
Case no. 2
If the shock rebound is set too slow, it will remain compressed
after repeated hits, which will give a sense of heaviness,
reduce travel and increase rmness on small bumps.

Tyre pressure depends on the total weight of the rider with their equip-
ment, the type of terrain and the style of riding.
With a tubeless system, you can ride at low pressure to increase grip and
comfort. The pressures recommended in the table are the result of terrain
tests conducted by our test riders to optimise bike behaviour.
They do not replace tyre manufacturer’s recommendations.
