Any adjustment to a suspension fork must be car ried out in accordance with the suspension fork manufacturer’s operating manual. As a general rule, the suspension fork should show noticeable movement when riding over uneven surfaces but should not “knock” (i.e. compress all the way to the limit stop). A suitable basic set up would see the suspen sion pushed in around 10 - 15% (cross country), 15 - 20% (touring) or 25 - 33% (enduro, freeride, downhill) of the spring travel when the rider is sit ting normally on the pedelec. Suspension forks can only function effectively if they are regularly cleaned. Purpose-made cleaning products or warm water with washing up liq

In this case, the frame‘s rear fork is flexible and a shock absorber provides suspension and damp ing. Some shock absorbers use a metal spring to absorb vibration, while others do this with an air chamber. The absorbability, which regulates the speed of compression and stretching, can be adjusted in high quality shock absorbers.

Carefully read the enclosed manual concerning the suspension system to your pedelec.
