SUSPENSION SETTINGS
Suspension settings are a matter of personal preference. Some riders like it plush, some like it firm. However here are some
suggestions of shock settings that you can use as basic guidelines.
Typically, the Fuzz should run with about 30% to 35% sag. To measure sag, push the bottom-out bumper up the shock shaft
until it meets the body of the shock. Gently stand up on the pedals with all your weight on the bike (fully kitted up with body
armour, helmet, neck brace, hydration pack, etc. – it’s important to make the situation as ‘real world’ as possible to give you
the most accurate results) and note how far the bumper displaces.
