Set up notes
•
Recommended air pressure 50-90 psi [3.4-6.2 Bar]
•
Max pressure not to exceed 110 psi [7.58 Bar]
•
Fork should be unweighted when adjusting air pressure
•
Static Sag should be 25-35% of travel
•
See owners manual for sag measurement procedure
•
All damper adjustment positions are taken from full-closed/ clockwise (Position 0 = Maximum damping)

Controls damping force for short travel unsprung wheel movement; roots, rocks, braking bumps, etc .
Controls damping force for deep travel sprung chassis movement; jumps, drops, etc.
•
For best performance it’s important to balance the rebound damping in the front fork and rear shock; front and rear wheels should return at the same speed.
•
If fork is loosing travel in repeated impacts (rock garden) reduce rebound

Tuning Tips:
•
Turning the High Speed adjuster knob will not change the TPC+ Adjustment.
Although it follows the rotation of the HS knob, the TPC+ Adjuster must be turned independently from High-Speed Adjuster to change the TPC+ setting.
•
If fork is losing travel in repeated impacts, increase High-Speed Damping.
•
If the fork is still diving with the High Speed adjuster fully closed, the TPC+
_ adjuster may be increased to compensate.

Tuning Tips:
•
If fork is bottoming frequently, try increasing TPC+ Damping before diverting from recommended air spring pressure.
•
If fork is “spiking” mid-travel, decrease TPC+ Damping, or increase High-
Speed Damping to smooth the transition.
