1. Fox 36 Setup Guide
Setting Sag for Optimal Performance
Sag is the percentage of suspension travel used when you sit on the bike. Setting it properly is key to a balanced ride.
-
Step 1: Wear full riding gear and get on the bike.
-
Step 2: Bounce a few times to settle the suspension.
-
Step 3: Have a friend check sag or use a sag meter.
-
Step 4: Adjust air pressure accordingly:
-
15-20% sag for aggressive riding.
-
20-25% sag for a more supple, trail-friendly feel.

2. High-Speed vs. Low-Speed Compression Tuning
The Fox 36 features both high-speed and low-speed compression adjustments to fine-tune performance.
✔ High-Speed Compression (HSC): Controls how the fork reacts to large impacts, such as drops and rock gardens.
-
Too soft? You’ll blow through travel too quickly.
-
Too firm? The fork will feel harsh on big hits.
-
Pro Tip: Start in the middle and adjust 1-2 clicks at a time.
✔ Low-Speed Compression (LSC): Controls fork movement on slow compressions, like braking forces and rolling terrain.
-
Too soft? The fork will dive under braking.
-
Too firm? Small bumps will feel harsh.
-
Pro Tip: If your front end feels unstable in corners, increase LSC slightly.

3. Rebound Tuning – Finding the Right Balance
Rebound controls how quickly the fork returns after absorbing a hit.
✔ Too Fast? The fork will feel bouncy and unpredictable. ✔ Too Slow? The fork will pack down and feel sluggish.
🛠 Setup Tip:
-
Start in the middle of the rebound range.
-
Test it on technical terrain and adjust based on feel.
