User manual GIANT BICYCLES SUSPENSION QUICK START GUIDE

[. . . ] Compression Stroke: The motion of the shock in response to an impact. Damping: Internal mechanism to control the speed of compression or rebound. psi: Pounds per square inch Rebound: The extension or return stroke of the shock. Sag: Compression of the shock caused by the rider's weight. [. . . ] Suspension Settings and Recommendations (coil shock-equipped bikes) Faith with MaestroTM (8" rear suspension travel) Giant's Maestro rear suspension design precisely positions the pivots and linkages to give you efficient pedaling and small bump compliance. Maestro's pivot placement allows the rear suspension to be completely active under braking, allowing the rear wheel to react constantly to the terrain. Maestro-equipped mountain bikes rely on rear suspension "sag". Sag (see Basic Terms & Shock Set-Up Overview on page 6) is a critical performance component and is relative to the individual rider's weight. See previous sag setting instructions on page 11 for details. Faith's frame design and travel is intended for aggressive freeriding and recreational/competitive downhill riding. The sag range can accommodate a wide variety of riding styles and terrain. 13 Faith Sag Recommendations: EYE-TO-EYE 8. 75" (222mm) SAG Freeriding: . 69" (17. 5mm) Downhill: . 83" (21. 0mm) COMPRESSED SHOCK LENGTH 8. 1" (204. 5mm) 7. 9" (201. 0mm) DH (8. 25" rear suspension travel) The Giant DH is a downhill-specific bicycle made for both recreational and competitive downhill riding and extreme freeriding. The multi-tunable shock can be almost infinitely adjusted for all types of terrain and riding styles. See previous sag setting instructions on page 11 for details. Please refer to the Sag Recommendations chart on page 15 to set up your Giant DH bicycle. For Manitou 6-Way coil shock tuning set-up (high-speed and low speed compression damping, SPV pressure and volume), please refer to shock manufacturer's technical manual. NOTE: These settings must be made prior to standard sag and rebound damping settings. 14 DH Sag Recommendations: EYE-TO-EYE 9" (229mm) SAG Freeriding: . 69" (17. 5mm) Downhill: . 83" (21. 0mm) COMPRESSED SHOCK LENGTH 8. 3" (211. 5mm) 8. 2" (208. 0mm) AC (5. 3" and 6. 3" rear suspension travel) Your AC bicycle is a versatile all-conditions bike that can take you up and down any trail on the mountain. The dual-position shock mount gives you the ability to change the travel from 5. 3" to 6. 3" with a single bolt. This is accomplished with two positions of the upper shock pivot bolt (figure 4). 15 To Change the AC's Travel: 1. Using a 6mm Allen wrench, remove the upper shock mounting bolt. Pivot the shock backward or forward to align the eyelet with one of the two holes. The forward most position is 5. 3" travel and the rear position is 6. 3" travel. Install the bolt and tighten to the proper torque of 100-120 Kgf/cm (86-95 in. -lbs. ). After any adjustment is made to travel, readjust sag/spring tension and damping. See previous sag setting instructions on page 11 for details. Please refer to the Sag Recommendations chart below to set up your Giant AC bicycle. AC Sag Recommendations: EYE-TO-EYE 7. 5" (190mm) SAG Downhill: (6. 3"): . 69" (17. 5mm) COMPRESSED SHOCK LENGTH 6. 8" (172. 5mm) Freeriding (5. 3"): . 49" (12. 5mm) 7. 0" (177. 5mm) 16 WARP DS/MTX 260 DS The Warp DS and MTX 260 DS are great all-purpose dual suspension cross country mountain bikes that can also take on the urban landscape with equal agility.
