Front Suspension Travel & Sag Guide
A suspension fork is effective at both absorbing bump forces and helping the tire track the ground for improved traction and braking control. When in active mode, a fork will rely on “SAG” to keep the front tire in better contact with the ground during braking under most conditions. The table should be used as a general guideline.
| Pedego Model | Travel | Sag % | Sag (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boomerang & Interceptor Platinum | 80 mm | 15-25% | 12-20 mm |
| Ridge Rider | 100 mm | 15-30% | 15-30 mm |
| City Commuter Platinum 26” | 60 mm | 15-25% | 9-15 mm |
| City Commuter Platinum 28” | 50 mm | 15-25% | 7.5 -12.5 mm |
| Element Platinum | 80 mm | 15-25% | 12-20 mm |
| Avenue 28” | 63 mm | 15-25% | 9-16 mm |
| Cargo | 45 mm | 15-25% | 6.8-11.3 mm |
| Moto | 140 mm | 15-30% | 21-42 mm |
Air Pressure
As a general guide, pump the main chamber (air spring) to a pressure equal to about 50% of your body weight for both the Interceptor Platinum and Ridge Rider, and about 70% of your body weight for the Trail Tracker. The Element Platinum and 29” Interceptor Platinum have a coil sprung suspension fork and do not require an air pressure adjustment.
Sag
Sag is a measurement of the amount of suspension fork travel with the rider stationary in their normal riding position. The Sag depends on the position and weight of the rider and should be between 15% and 30% of the fork’s max travel depending on the intended use and preferences. The suspension is preset from the factory. Please visit your local dealer for more information.
Setting Air Pressure and Measuring Sag
Step 1: Thread a suspension pump onto the valve until it is snug.
Step 2: Pump the suspension fork up to the desired pressure. Never exceed the recommended maximum air pressure.
| Pedego Model | Fork Manufacturer | Max Pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Boomerang & Interceptor Platinum | RST | 175 psi |
| Ridge Rider | RockShox | 205 psi |
| City Commuter Platinum | RST | 175 psi |
Step 3: Attach a zip tie loosely, to the suspension fork stanchion and slide it all the way down to the fork seal. Carefully mount the bicycle and take normal riding position. Dismount the bicycle and measure the distance between the zip tie and fork seal. Check the sag measurement with the chart recommendation and adjust air pressure accordingly. Remove the zip tie and with a clean rag, wipe any grease from the stanchion prior to riding.
Note: It may be necessary to lean against a wall when measuring sag.
Some suspension forks are equipped with a lockout lever to make it easier to ride on flat ground when you don’t need the suspension.
Cargo Fork Adjustments
Step 1: Coil spring pre-load (adjuster on top of left for leg).
a. Turn the adjuster clockwise to increase the spring pre-load.
b. Turn the adjuster counter-clockwise to decrease the spring pre-load.
Step 2: Mechanical lock-out (adjuster on top of right fork leg).
a. Turn the adjuster clockwise until it stops to lock-out the suspension.
b. Turn the adjuster counter-clockwise to unlock the suspension.
Moto Fork Adjustments
Step 1: Compression w/ Lockout (Adjuster on top of right fork leg)- Turn adjuster clockwise to increase compression damping or counter-clockwise to decrease compression damping. Turning the adjuster all the way clockwise will lock out the suspension.
Step 2: Rebound (Adjuster on the bottom of right fork leg)- Turn the adjuster clockwise to increase rebound damping and counter-clockwise to decrease rebound damping.
Moto Rear Shock Operation
The dual rear shocks are coil sprung with hydraulic damping. All settings are pre-set from the factory and do not have any adjustments for the end user.
