Setting Rebound and Propedal on RP23 Rear Shocks with Boost Valve: In general, rebound should be turned all the way out and dialed

back in 1-3 clicks depending on rider weight. A sub 145lb rider is full out (fastest setting) where a 200lb rider would be about 3 clicks in. Average is 1 click in on a Mach 4 and 2 clicks in on a Mach 5.7. Always send the rider out with the Pro Pedal turned off (lever set to the non-drive side of bike). For RP23 shocks we suggest starting with the Pro Pedal option set to 1 so if and when the rider experiments with the dial; they are using the best feeling setting. (Just to clarify, the bike should still go out with Pro Pedal turned to the off position).

Setting Rebound, Bottom Out, and Boost Valve on DHX Air Shocks: In general, a good starting rebound setting is 7 clicks in from full open for a rider weight of 170lbs. We recommend setting the bottom-out with two lines showing on the reservoir. A good starting Boost Valve pressure is 170psi. We do not recommend going below 150psi on the Firebird.

Setting Rebound, Bottom Out, Boost Valve, High Speed Compression and Low Speed Compression damping adjustments on RC4 Coil Shocks for Phoenix DH: In general, for a rider between 160-180lbs, we recommend the following baseline settings:

• Rebound: 5 clicks out from all the way in
• High Speed Compression: 7 clicks out from all the way in
• Low Speed Compression: 10 clicks out from all the way in
• Bottom Out: Two turns in on the reservoir.
• Boost Valve: A good starting Boost Valve pressure is 160psi. We do not recommend going below 130psi on the Phoenix DH.

Setting rear shock sag on mountain bikes: Always set sag with the Pro Pedal turned off (lever set to the non-drive side of bike). Have the rider sit on the bike (preferably with their hydration pack on) and have them sit down hard into the saddle to achieve accurate sag settings.

The rider does not need to bounce up and down nor should they sit down gently. If they sit down hard once, the suspension will cycle well

into the stroke and return to the natural sag setting with the rider in the saddle. With the rider in the saddle (not moving), slide the O-ring up

into position against the air can. Once the O-ring is set in place, have the rider slowly step off the bike so as not to move the O-ring. The O-ring needs to line up with the red line on the sag indicator. Add or remove air as required to get the O-ring to line up with the red line. If

there is no sag indicator on the shock, set the sag to the recommended setting shown below. (Different models and sizes of Pivot bikes use different length shocks and therefore require different sag settings. In general, we are setting sag at approximately 30% of the shock stroke).

• Mach 4 (all years) XX-Small and X-small: Sag = .49” or 12.4mm (Sag indicator C)
• 2010 and older Mach 4 Small, Medium, Large, X-large, Mach 5 X-Small and Small, and all 429’s : Sag = .65” or 16.5mm (Sag indicator B)
• 2011 Mach 4 Small, Medium, Large, X-large: Sag = .55” or 14mm (Sag indicator D)
• Mach 5.7 X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-large and Mach 5 Medium, Large and X-large: Sag = .74” or 18.8mm (Sag indicator A)
• Firebird: Sag = .79” or 20mm
• Phoenix DH: Sag = .99” or 25mm
