1. Fox 38 Setup Guide
Setting Sag for the Perfect Ride
Sag is the percentage of suspension travel used when you sit on the bike. Here’s how to set it correctly:
-
Step 1: Wear your riding gear and get on the bike.
-
Step 2: Bounce a few times to settle the suspension.
-
Step 3: Have a friend check the sag or use a sag meter.
-
Step 4: Adjust air pressure as needed:
-
20-25% sag for aggressive riding.
-
25-30% sag for a more plush feel.

2. High-Speed vs. Low-Speed Compression Tuning
The Fox 38 features high-speed and low-speed compression dials, and getting them right will transform your ride.
✔ High-Speed Compression (HSC): Controls big impacts like drops and rock gardens.
-
Too soft? You’ll blow through travel on hard hits.
-
Too firm? The fork will feel harsh over big impacts.
-
Pro Tip: Start in the middle of the range and adjust 1-2 clicks at a time.
✔ Low-Speed Compression (LSC): Affects fork movement on small bumps and braking forces.
-
Too soft? The fork will dive under braking.
-
Too firm? You’ll feel every tiny bump.
-
Pro Tip: If you like to corner aggressively, firm up the LSC slightly.

3. Rebound Tuning – How Fast Should Your Fork Return?
Rebound controls how quickly your fork returns after 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 on a rocky descent and fine-tune based on feel.
