Rockshox fork setup and air settingsUpdated 7 months ago

 

Remove the air cap on the crown of the fork to uncover the air valve.


Attach the high-pressure shock pump to the fork until snug and pressure reads on gauge.



Inflate the fork the recommended pressure, this is a rough guide to get a base pressure but we recommend taking your shock pump out on your first couple of rides and find what’s best for you and your riding style.


 

Fork setup

When setting up forks please cycle the air around the fork by compressing them every 30psi you add, this ensures air is cycled around the full system and the PSI displayed on your shock pump is true. For further advice on fork setup use the rock shox trail head guide to setting up suspension- https://trailhead.rockshox.com/en/
