Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by setting your sag on the SR Suntour shocks to match your body weight, which will define how the bike interacts with the trail. The AGILOMETER sizing concept suggests testing different reach lengths to find your preferred balance of agility and stability. For care, ensure the drivetrain remains lubricated with a quality mountain bike chain lube and check your hydraulic brake fluid levels every few months. Since the P-FLEX suspension is designed for low maintenance, you primarily need to keep the pivot points clean of grit and debris to maintain smooth movement. Periodically inspect the frame for any loose bolts, especially after aggressive riding sessions.
