![]() + More to push against in corners and jump faces + More stable and predictable feel as the bike is slower to dive or pitch as rider weight shifts – Only adds support towards the end of travel – Harsher on medium-large hits where less travel is used – Less sag, less traction, higher ride-height + More support, less diving/squatting, higher ride-height What are the effects of different suspension adjustments? Increasing spring rate (related to air pressure or coil spring stiffness) This is all about finding the right compromise between support and sensitivity, by fine-tuning the spring-rate, number of volume spacers, low-speed compression and high-speed compression (if your bike has it), as well as adjusting the rebound damping to find a balance between calmness and liveliness. In this second video, we look at what to do if this setup isn’t right for you or if you want to tweak your setup further to suit your specific riding style and terrain. Step 2: How to fine-tune your suspension for maximum performanceįor most riders, the first video should get a bike’s suspension sorted for the trails, and you may find this is all you need to do. Alternatively, talk to your local suspension service centre. If, after doing these tests, you decide you need to add or remove any volume spacers, take a look at our videos on changing spacers on Fox shocks and changing spacers on forks. This video explains how to set your sag, test how progressive your suspension needs to be, and how to fine-tune your rebound damping. It should get your suspension performing well before you even leave the car park. This is how our resident suspension guru Seb sets up his test bikes. How to set up the suspension on your mountain bike Step 1: How to get your suspension set up in ten minutes The second video will make a lot more sense having watched this. ![]() This should get your suspension in the right ballpark. Even if you’re already happy with your setup, we strongly recommend watching the baseline video first. ![]()
