Suspension Servicing

Your suspension is one of the most important components on your bike, it's what keeps you comfortable and in control on the trail. Regular servicing is essential to keep it working as it should. The servicing schedule below applies to suspension forks, shocks, and dropper posts.

Every Ride

Help ensure your suspension continues to work well by cleaning it after every ride. Clean the exterior with mild soap and water only, then wipe dry with a soft towel.

Regularly

Every few rides, check the sag and damper settings. Inspect your suspension for visual damage, and the function of all controls.

Every ~125 Hours / Yearly

Most manufacturers suggest a full service ~125 hours, or yearly (whichever comes first). This includes a full internal/external inspection, damper rebuild, air spring rebuild, bath oil and wiper replacement, and an air seal replacement for air shocks.
