The AURON has an air chamber with adju-
stable volume. This function allows the rider
to choose between a more linear or a more
progressive characteristic curve.
It can be adjusted with spacers. The more
spacers are installed, the more progressive
the characteristic curve.
The spacers can be pushed out and rein-
serted without tools.
!
WArNING!
The air chamber is pressurised! Before opening, let the air out of the fork
completely to prevent the valve and the spacer unit from being ejected
forcefully and potentially causing injuries.
AIr PrESSUrE AND “SAG”
The “SAG” (negative spring stroke) is the compression that is
caused solely by the body weight and the position of the rider.
The “SAG” depends on the position and weight of the rider
and should be between 15% and 30% of the fork’s max travel
depending on the intended use and preferences.
SETTING THE AIr PrESSUrE AND “SAG”
1.
Unscrew the valve cap. Screw a fork / shock pump onto the
valve.
2.
Pump the suspension fork up to the desired pressure.
Never exceed the recommended maximum air pressure.
Note the table below.
3.
Sit on the bicycle in normal riding position and check the
“SAG”. Add or release air as needed.
In order to properly assess the “SAG”, attach a cable zip tie
to the fork stanchion. You can lean against a wall in order
to be able to sit still on the bicycle, in order to measure the
“SAG”.
