Operation
6.5.13 Adjust the rear shock sag
Settings on the frameset change ride
performance significantly. The rider needs to
get used to the ebike and break it in, to prevent
accidents.
Greater sag (20%–30%)
A greater sag increases sensitivity to bumps, thus
producing greater suspension motion. A greater
sensitivity to bumps ensures more comfortable
ride performance and is used on ebikes with a
longer travel.
Decreased sag (10%– 20%)
A decreased sag reduces sensitivity to bumps,
thus producing less suspension motion. A lower
sensitivity to bumps ensures a firmer, more
efficient ride performance and is generally used
on ebikes with a shorter travel.
The adjustment shown here represents a basic
setting. The rider should change the basic setting
to suit the surface and their preferences.
It is advisable to make a note of the basic
settings. These can then be used a starting point
for subsequent optimized settings and as a
safeguard against unintentional changes.
