SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
You must read and understand the Safety Instructions document included with your product before proceeding with installation. Improperly
installed components are extremely dangerous and could result in severe and/or fatal injuries. If you have any questions about the
installation of these components, consult a qualified bicycle mechanic. This document is also available on www.sram.com/service.
NOTICE
AXS components are only compatible with other AXS components. Consult the AXS Components Compatibility Map for compatibility
information.
Consult www.sram.com/service whenever a separate manual is referenced in this document.

Use the app to create your account, add your components,
and customize your SRAM AXS experience. For component
customization within the SRAM AXS app, all SRAM AXS and
RockShox enabled AXS components installed on a single bicycle
must be paired together to create one system. For multi-system
pairing, refer to Multi-System Pairing.
Through the app, you will also be able to:

SRAM AXS App
Compatibility
This manual is a complete system identification and usage guide
for an installed Flight Attendant electronic suspension system on an
assembled bicycle.
For details regarding RockShox suspension component installation
and tuning, consult the RockShox Front Suspension and RockShox
Rear Suspension User Manuals, and the RockShox Suspension
Tuning Guide.
Flight Attendant components are designed to be used in a paired
system and are wirelessly compatible only with other RockShox AXS
enabled components and SRAM AXS components.
When paired into one AXS system, functionality of all Flight
Attendant and AXS components can be reconfigured with the SRAM
AXS app.
AXS Controllers are compatible with Flight Attendant but are not
required for system functionality.
The Flight Attendant Control Module and Rear Shock Module are not
compatible with standard RockShox suspension.

5
The Flight Attendant system consists of a Flight Attendant-equipped
front suspension fork and rear shock, a Pedal Sensor-equipped
DUB crankset, and a handlebar-mounted AXS Controller. The AXS
Controller is optional and is not required.
The front suspension, rear suspension, and Pedal Sensor-equipped
crank must be paired together for the system to function properly.
NOTICE
Removal or unpairing of any one Flight Attendant component will
stop the components from functioning as a complete system.

Batteries
Component Batteries
The AXS Controller (A) and Pedal Sensor (C) batteries are pre-installed. The SRAM batteries (B) are included separately and must be fully
charged before installation and use.

NOTICE
If the AXS Controller coin cell battery is depleted, activating Flight Attendant, or any other paired AXS component, with the AXS Controller
is not possible until the battery is replaced.
If a SRAM battery or Pedal Sensor battery is depleted during use, Safe Mode will be activated. Front and rear dampers will switch to OPEN
at the time of battery depletion and will remain open until the battery is recharged or replaced.
The Pedal Sensor requires a AAA Lithium/Iron Disulfide (Li/FeS2). Use only AAA Lithium/Iron Disulfide (Li/FeS2) batteries in the Pedal Sensor.
NOTICE
Hands and gloves must be clean before handling the SRAM battery. Contact with sunscreen or hydrocarbon cleaners may cause the
battery to crack.
⚠WARNING
Consult the coin cell and AAA battery manufacturers for safe handling instructions.
Keep the batteries out of reach of children.
Do not put the battery in your mouth. If ingested, seek medical attention immediately.
Do not use sharp objects to remove the batteries.

Battery Charge LED Indicator
Press & release
The AXS component LED indicators illuminate when the component AXS button is pressed. The color of the LED indicates the battery charge
level.
During use, if a Flight Attendant suspension component has a blinking red LED, the battery must be recharged or replaced.
Battery levels can also be checked in the SRAM AXS app.

Suspension Module Battery Installation
NOTICE
Do not discard the battery covers (A) and component battery
blocks (B).
To prevent battery depletion during transportation, remove the
SRAM batteries and install the battery blocks into each battery
slot. Install each battery cover onto each battery.
Failure to cover the batteries and component battery terminals
could result in damage to the terminals.
A B
Remove the battery cover from each SRAM battery and charge both
batteries.
Consult the SRAM Battery and Charger User Manual at
www.sram.com/service for charging instructions, battery
maintenance, and travel guidelines.
NOTICE
Do not discard the battery cover. To protect the battery terminals,
install the battery cover on the battery when it is not on the
charger or component.

Flight Attendant Setup
Locate and record the AXS serial number on the Flight Attendant Control Module.
The serial number can be used in the AXS app to identify the Flight Attendant Control
Module.
All paired components in the system will be linked to the Control Module.
Component Serial Number Identification
After all components and fully charged batteries have been installed,
complete the setup process before first use. 1. Activate the Pedal Sensor
2. Pair the system
3. Set suspension air pressure
4. Calibrate the system
5. Select Bias Adjustment
6. Set Low Speed Compression (LSC) damping (front and rear)
Setup Process
Activate Pedal Sensor
Press & hold
A new Pedal Sensor ships in a non-active state and must be activated before it can be paired into the Flight Attendant system.
Press and hold the AXS button for 5 seconds until the LED illuminates, then release. The Pedal Sensor is now ready to be paired.
A Pedal Sensor only needs to be activated once.

17
System Pairing
1
If pairing Flight Attendant components only,
begin the pairing session with the Flight
Attendant Control Module.
Press and hold the AXS button on the Control
Module until the AXS LED blinks slowly, then
release.
The pairing process will time out after 30
seconds of inactivity.
2 3
Press and hold the AXS button on the Pedal Sensor until the AXS
LED blinks quickly, then release.
Press and hold the AXS button on the Rear Shock Module until the
AXS LED blinks quickly, then release.
Press & hold
The Flight Attendant Control Module begins and ends the pairing session.
The Rear Shock Module, Pedal Sensor, and optional AXS Controller, must all be paired with the Control Module before use.
Additional AXS components can be paired with Flight Attendant to create one AXS system. After multiple AXS components have been
paired into one system, functions and preferences can be configured in the SRAM AXS app.

18
4
If installed (optional): Press and hold the AXS button on the AXS
Controller until the LED blinks quickly, then release.
5
Press and release the AXS button on the Flight Attendant Control
Module to end the pairing session, or wait 30 seconds for the
session to time out. The AXS LED will stop blinking.
Successful pairing can be verified with the SRAM AXS app. All paired
components will be listed below the Flight Attendant Control Module.
If any Flight Attendant component does not respond, repeat the
pairing process.
The pairing process does not need to be repeated when any battery
is removed and/or replaced.
The pairing process must be repeated if any components are
replaced, added, or removed.
Press & hold Press & release

Spring Air Pressure and Rebound Damping
Manual Mode is the active default mode for a new Flight Attendant
system.
From the Manual Mode OPEN position, set front and rear spring air
pressure.
Refer to the RockShox Suspension Tuning Guide for spring air
pressure and rebound damper setting procedures.
Spring air pressure, which affects system Calibration and suspension performance, is set in the same manner as traditional suspension
components, and must be set before system Calibration.
Rebound damping can be set and adjusted at any time.
