The following diagram explains the procedure for changing the spring travel:
2 recoil elastomers + Bike FS = 120 mm travel.
3 recoil elastomers = 100 mm travel
4 recoil elastomers + Bike S = 80 mm travel
When assembling, make sure that there is a spacer washer between each elastomer.
Modification of spring force
The standard assembly (120 mm spring travel) consists of 11 elastomers with 25 mm diameter and is designed for a rider weight of approx. 70-75 kg.
For every 2 kg of additional rider weight, one of the standard elastomers with a diameter of 25 mm is replaced by a harder elastomer with a diameter of 28 mm.
Conversely, for every 2 kg less weight, exchange a softer elastomer of diameter 20 mm.
Modification of the characteristic curve
In order to realize a soft response with an equal impact protection (progressive behavior), 2 elastomers of 25 mm each are replaced by one of 28 mm and one of 20 mm.
The sequence on the guide rod has no effect on the characteristic curve.
