III - SPECIFIC MODELS
4 X-FLOW (PENDBOX)
Our new technology PendBox
®
an indicator to help you set the SAG easily for maximum efficiency - just like FPS2. The indicator is located on
the left side of the bike at upper link level. The SAG should be between 9 and 11 mm for the X-FLOW.
Steps to follow:
1 - Sit on the bike, with your feet on the pedals and in riding position (leaning your elbow on the wall helps).
2 – Once you are in balance, the indicator should point to the equilibrium position (hatched area).
There are two possibilities:
- If the indicator is pointed between «zero» and «9mm», you need to reduce the pressure.
- If the indicator is pointed above «11mm», you need to increase the pressure. To do so, a high pressure pump
is recommended.
- a 9 mm SAG is recommended for «cross country» rides with a more upright seat angle and a harder
suspension.
- a 11 mm SAG is recommended for «marathon» rides. The angles will be flatter, so that your position will be
more orientated to the rear, and the suspension will be more responsive.
To check your setting, you can hop on the saddle and check the rest position or check while riding on flat
sections if the indicator on the level of the hatched area. Be careful with optical effects and oncoming traffic!
5 OST - ZESTY/SPICY/FROGGY
Our new OST technology (Optimized Suspension Technology), which was derived from the FPS system but
improved for longer travels, also has an indicator that helps set up the sag. The indicator is located on the left
side, on the chainstay.
The sag should be adjusted from 12 to 17 mm for Zesty, from 13 to 18 mm for Spicy, and from 21 to 25 mm
for Froggy.
The set up is the same for these 3 bikes:
1 : First make sure the indicator is right in front of « zero » when no one is seated on the bike. Do not hesitate
to adjust the position of the arrow if it is not properly aligned when no one is on the bike.
2 : Sit on the bike with your feet on the pedals and in riding position. (Leaning against a wall with your elbow
helps).
