• To unlock a suspension fork turn the locking lever in the
direction indicated by the arrow with the description "OPEN"
until it stops. (See the example on Figure 19).
• To lock a suspension fork, turn the locking lever in the
direction indicated by the arrow with the description "lock"
or "firm" until it stops. (See the example on Figure 20).
WARNING!
Do not forget to unlock the system when the terrain
becomes rougher in order not to damage the fork!
4.4.2 Shock lockout system
As with telescopic forks, shocks are equipped with a lockout system for suspension. When the
system is locked, the movements of the shock are blocked in order to guarantee better pedaling
efficiency. However, the shock is not 100% blocked in order not to damage the suspension if the
shock stays locked out on rough ground.
To lock or unlock your shock you simply need to follow these steps:
1. Find the blue lever on the shock. You will see a pa-
dlock logo in open or closed position on the lever.
2. If the padlock is open, it means that your shock is
in open position (Figure 21).
3. If the padlock is closed, it means that your shock
is locked out (Figure 21)
4. To move from one position to the other, you sim-
ply need to move the blue lever with your index
figure in the direction indicated by the arrows in
Figure 21.

WARNING!
The pressure exerted by your finger to move
the lever should be very light; you do not
need to force the mechanism. In case of a
problem, contact your retailer. You can also
refer to the manufacturer's notice.
4.4.3 Setting the pre-stress of the fork (SAG)
In order to fully profit from your bike's potential, the suspension should be set up for your weight.
This is a technical procedure that can be carried out by your local retailer if you do not have the
necessary knowledge or material.
This setting is commonly called "SAG", which corresponds to the compression of the suspension
under the weight of the cyclist. The level of SAG varies according to the type of fork and the type
of usage of the bike. These values can be found in the technical notice available on the website
https://www.moustachebikes.com/en/manuals. The SAG is a value expresses as a percen-
tage, and defines the length of displacement of the stanchions in relation to the fork or shock body,
caused by your body weight when you are sat on the bike.
Let's take an example:
My fork has 140 mm of travel (which means the stanchions are 140mm long). The
recommended SAG is 25%. To convert this SAG value into millimeters you just need
to use the following formula:
SAG [in mm] = SAG [en %] x Travel [in mm]
Which in this example case gives us: SAG [in mm] = 25% (0.25) x 140 mm = 35 mm
So, my body weight pushes the stanchions into the legs by 35 mm.
The SAG is calibrated by setting the pre-stress of the shock or the air pressure in the pneumatic
cartridge depending on the type of fork. To set up fork SAG carry out the following steps:
For Coil spring with oil damping:
• Sit on the bike in a normal position and wearing
your usual riding kit (helmet, bag and accesso-
ries...). You can lean against a wall in order to
avoid any brusque movements on the bike.
• Step off your bike gently to avoid a harsh mo-
vement and measure the "SAG". A SAG that
is too weak indicates that the pre-stress of the
spring is too high. You should therefore turn the
adjustment lever towards the «-». Inversely, a
too high level of SAG indicates that the spring's
pre-stress is too weak, and you should there-
fore turn the adjustment lever towards "+".
• Repeat these steps until you find the right level.
Other settings can be carried out so you profit as much as possible from your suspension
system. Refer to the dedicated notice or to your local bike retailer.

Hint: If your fork is
not equipped with a rubber
O-ring that you can use to
see the SAG position, you
can place a plastic zip tie on
the fork stanchion which will
carry out the same function.
