Rear Shock Setup:Because it is highly likely the original rear shocks on older models are repaired/replaced/upgraded throughout the lifetime of the frame, we offer some very basic tuning guidelines, and recommend using the original rear shock manufacturers manual for more detailed set-up for the specific rear shock you have. Contact the rear shock manufacturer for info if you do not have it.
The key component for set-up with any rear shock here is sag. Once you have that set-up correctly, the rest of the shock settings are fine tuning adjustments (Rebound and Compression damping, etc.) set to rider preference.-Recommended sag is 8-11mm at the shock shaft - This equates to approximately 15-20% of the total rear wheel travel. Less sag = a firmer suspension feel.-For Air rear shocks, set the air pressure to match the recommended sag. Typically for this model the PSI is approx 25% less than rider weight, but again this varies by rear shock.
Rear Shock Notes:The Superlight.2 (2002-2006) uses a slightly different shock rate/curve compared to the Superlight.1 (1998-2001). Rear shocks are the same size, but not the same shock tune at OE.
