2. Setting Sag for Trail Performance
Proper sag setup ensures maximum traction, comfort, and efficiency on climbs, descents, and technical terrain.
-
Step 1: Wear full riding gear and mount 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 accordingly:
-
15-20% sag for a firmer, more responsive ride.
-
20-25% sag for a plusher ride with added traction.

3. Charger 3.1 RC2 Damper – How It Works
The Charger 3.1 RC2 damper allows riders to fine-tune their fork’s behavior for ultimate control.
✔ High-Speed Compression (HSC): Controls fork response to big hits and aggressive terrain.
-
Too soft? Bottoming out on jumps and fast hits.
-
Too firm? Harsh ride on rough sections.
-
Pro Tip: Adjust based on riding style and trail conditions.
✔ Low-Speed Compression (LSC): Affects fork movement under braking, cornering, and pedaling forces.
-
Too soft? Fork dives under braking.
-
Too firm? Reduced small-bump compliance.
-
Pro Tip: Slightly firmer LSC improves pedaling efficiency and mid-travel support.

4. Rebound Tuning – Keeping the Ride Balanced
Rebound tuning controls how quickly the fork extends after absorbing an impact.
✔ Too Fast? The fork feels bouncy and unstable.
✔ Too Slow? The fork packs down on repeated hits, reducing control.
🛠 Setup Tip:
-
Start in the middle of the rebound range.
-
Adjust based on riding style and terrain.
