2.1 Air Spring


The first adjustment that should be done on the fork is to set the air pressure. This adjusts the stiffness of the air spring
according to your weight. The stiffness of the air spring induces a degree of fork travel when you sit on your bike. This value,
commonly called sag, can vary based on your usage. This value should be between 15mm (smooth terrain/climbs) and 20mm
(rough terrain/downhills) for the 100mm Dizzy and between 20mm (smooth terrain/climbs) and 25mm (rough
terrain/downhills) for the 120mm Dizzy. The sag measurement should be taken with both feet on the pedals and both hands on
the bars, arms and legs in the pedaling position.

To achieve the best performance from your BOS product, it is important to set your optimal pressure. The chart below will give
you some base values based on your weight. Your specific pressure may vary based on your riding style and personal preference.
However, do not stray too far from the indicated pressures, or you may risk changing the performance of your fork.

Important :

Balancing the air chamber pressure:
To ensure optimum operation, it is important to balance the positive and negative chambers every time you adjust the
air pressure.

Proceed as follows:
After adjusting the pressure, cycle the fork slowly 3-4 times on the first inch of travel.
Thus, the air pressure is distributed equally between the chambers, and your fork is ready to roll!
