How To Set MTB Suspension Sag » ACADEMY | FOX

[@Ranar14]

Seriously, you guys putting on that 4 digit code is one of the best small things ever to be done on Fox product!

[@Tony-Scotton]

Except when “The information you are looking for is unavailable at this time.” This is for a 2019 Performance Series Float Trunnion Mount shock. I expect this is it being a custom tune for the bike by the manufacturer, but there isn’t much in the included manuals.

[@youling1997]

What. Name a product that doesn’t have product number

[@bobkin611]

@@Tony-Scotton You may have a chinese knock off. Lots of grey/black market scummery goes on. Check to make sure it's a real Fox product.

[@FranticGuitar88]

On 2021 Canyon Neuron 9 SL - if I follow the sag recommendations of this video I basically turn my bike into a fully rigid bike. I guess it very much depends on bike geometry and linkage type. I have to run much more sag to make the suspension actually work.

[@FreakySquid515]

This is a really good video. Answered all the questions I had about suspension set up in under 3 minutes

[@DilanHamawandy]

Just got a Capra Pro Race and this will be very helpful setting up suspension Thank you

[@ThisIs4Cody]

Should the shock's LSC be fully open as well when setting sag? Turned fully counterclockwise?

[@delyrium_]

When did the 30% sag in the shock and 25% sag in the fork changed?? Most manufacturers even in 2024 recommend this settings. With 15% sag in the fork you'll be bouncing like crazy on the trails :))

[@rlopez9044]

Man… I cannot find that number in my rear shock, is a FOX FLOAT DPS performance. The whole thing is black.!! Any suggestion?

[@archetypex65]

Glad to see you in that 15% to 25% range rather than that 25% to 30% range. It really depends on the trails you ride. type of bike you ride, rider weight ( in some cases for a very light riders) & more importantly riding style. A good range is typically 15%-20% front. 18%-25% rear.

[@dougr550]

Everyone else on the planet is setting rear sag seated not standing. 20% standing would be roughly 30% sitting

[@archetypex65]

@@dougr550 not really sure how you would arrive at that conclusion since the force of body weight/body mass does not change sitting or standing maybe you need to read up on biomechanics and physics 👍

[@dougr550]

@@archetypex65 not only is your post incredibly rude it's also incorrect. Standing much more of your weight is over the front of the bike whereas seated more of your weight is over the shock. On my 150mm bike there is a difference of about 10% sag between standing and seated. Go check for yourself.

[@boreqyas]

@@archetypex65 maybe you should read more about weight balance and stop writing so much bs ye

[@nathansantos.n8]

hi, your website is down. been trying to access the manual for my suspension since yesterday

[@ToddGrigg]

I have from a friend. But I can get the shock in the middle to get big can you help.

[@TRK30]

What about rebound, do you open up the rebound to set sag?!?

[@zackshort1423]

Hey Fox, so I’m a huge suspension nerd and just got a yt tues cf pro race 29 in long and I was wondering how much sag I’d run on that bike. It’s a dh bike so I was thinking 20 front 30 rear? Or should I do 25 front 30 rear? It’s a super progressive bike so I don’t think I’ll need many volume spacers but I was curious with sag.

[@MrSupermugen]

unless you ride just super gnarly double black tech all the time, run less rear sag the Tues likes to use its first 70% quickly and can sap energy from the rider

[@zer0c00l44]

hi, is it possible to hand bleed a fox float x please? Could you do it along the same lines as an X2 thanks

[@coryarmstrong9217]

Is your website down? It's not responding.

[@Drogos79]

high speed compression. On bigger hits and or jumps, how does it behave in "trail" and locked position? Will it still allow full travel and will open valves fully?

[@RosalinoPodadera]

I have my fox talas 36 and there is no lock out any answer from the user

[@robrockatansky5905]

was the rear shock lever on firm or open for setting sag?

[@TheSpade83]

Do you open up the rebound to set sag?

[@dlastmohican71]

When I enter my 4 digit code I get multiple manuals and schematics... just as lost as before I entered my code

[@AncientGreek]

Is it really 15% on the front? I have an enduro bike

[@TJ-po9ol]

Up to about 25% sag front depending on what you’re riding & 25-30% rear. Bike park, less sag, technical stuff, little more.

[@dogdaysunrise1970]

@@TJ-po9ol I do the exact opposite, bikepark, more sag, tech and trail less sag.

[@thewatcher9778]

my fox 36 number isnt listed anymore

[@jgianan]

Hi, I have a fox factory 36 160mm Fit4. I have 120 psi on it. On paper and basic test, the rebound should be at fully open (fastest), which is 14 clicks. However, in this setting, I get a thud sound and feedback whenever I do a wheeL lift. More pronounced on manual than doing a wheelie. As I back out the rebound rate, the thud sound and feedback gets lower as well. At 9 clicks, the issue completely goes away. What can I do to have the fastest rebound but not get that thud sound? Thanks!

[@danieliuseidukonis7947]

that's quite a lot of pressure for a 36 (actually it's maximum pressure, 120 PSI) and rebound should be almost fully CLOSED at this pressure. It's because air is progressive and it ramps up hard but "shoots back" very fast so you need to stop this by closing rebound (to make it slower and more controllable).

[@yuriataide1146]

The rider must be forcing down for we concluse the sag?

[@corbanmiller142]

can you make a video on how suspension setup differs for hardtails

[@philbagus9662]

Corban Miller Same method for the front and around 0% sag for the rear 🤣

[@archetypex65]

You are on the right track because even though you approach the forks setup the same way you will approach tire pressure differently with a hardtail. And tire pressures will vary depending on width of the tire, type of tire, type of Trail and Rider weight. Don't listen to bozos who post here who don't know their ass from their elbow 😂👍 hopefully somebody at Fox will reach out to you to better explain.

[@Drogos79]

EVOL DPS: impossible to disconnect shock pump without loosing lots of air, 15-25PSI...on 2 diff. pumps, one having "no leak " valve. I am starting to think shock valve is shot. Thoughts ?

[@boringuserhandle]

You are loosing air as you attach, not as you remove. Just pump up to the required pressure.

[@paulmaul]

Yea, the air you hear leaking is from the shock pump hose.

[@jkeiffer]

Isn't that a Rockshox pump though? LOL At any rate, videos like this are helpful to people who are just getting started or need a reminder now and again. Thanks!

[@MrSupermugen]

Made by giant i think

[@tolga380]

My rebound adjuster is jammed. Any tips on how I can fix it?

[@paulmaul]

Which version /fork do you have? I know my 36 with a Grip2 damper has a cap over the rebound knobs- it could be that you’re trying to turn that cap thinking it’s the rebound knob? See if that’s the problem

[@klstrucker930419]

I have no 4 digit code on my both ford and shock

[@antoine-nicolastavera5714]

Hello ! I rode a mondraker dune carbon r 2019 with a fox 36 grip 2 factory fork in 170 mm with 1 volume spacer 27% sag And a fox float x 2 factory 205 x 65 shock absorber with 1 volume spacer 34% sag I weigh 82 kg. What advice do you have for the hsc, lsc, hsr, lsr settings on the fork and the shock absorber for enduro engaged

[@FernandoMessiasXavier]

It went together easily in less than an hour. kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.

[@mjbbell]

Do you not have an app

[@theshark1999]

Do I need to Open All Clicks on front and rear and then do the sag?

[@richardhayter3919]

Why is this chap explaining how to set rebound damping without a rider onboard ? As sprung weight, either standing or seated, will effect rebound speed this makes no sense at all and is very misleading. Please correct me if I'm wrong though 👍🏼

[@paulmaul]

I think he’s just giving a baseline for people that might not have any clue as to where to start with adjusting rebound.

A very cold corporate video compared to the Dialed videos 🙄

[@archetypex65]

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ How would you want an instructional video to be? It's not a cinematic type of video it's purely informational and instructional. It cuts out the bullshit it gets right to the nuts and bolts. #ohmygoodness 🙄

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@archetypex65 I think what's being said is that there literally is no intonation, no pause, just freakishly fast reading of script by the company that pumps the product out. Pace and cadence with pauses ensures the audience is not only hearing spoken word but comprehending what's being said, thus leaving the video with understanding of not only how to do something but why and what else to be aware of. None of which this video inspires, thus I leave this video from the company that produced my product to leave in search of a video that does what I need. The company has bought into itself, that everyone is aspiring to be part of the inner lingo kids, all while missing the real need: practical how to.
