Page 5: Important Safety Information
Ø Our rear shocks contain fluids and gases under extreme pressure, so warnings in this manual must be followed in order to avoid the possibility of injuries or possible death. Never try to open any SR SUNTOUR rear shock ! Opening any SR SUNTOUR rear shock implies the risk of getting seriously injured. -
Page 6: Before Every Ride
Ø Compress your rear shock with your body weight. If it feels too soft, relating to the proper pressure to achieve an accurate SAG, inflate it until you have reached the required value. -

Page 10: Air Pressure Adjust
AIR PRESSURE ADJUST Below is the original air pressure setting when the SR SUNTOUR rear shock is shipped out from the factory. Remember that these are the starting points and adjustments will vary based on rider ability, trail conditions, frame design, and personal preference. After setting up your rear shock, check your sag to make sure that you are within the recommended sag settings. -
Page 11: Air Volume Adjust
AIR VOLUME ADJUST If you are looking for further tuning, the spring curve of the air shock can be adjusted using volume spacers. Air pressure can be used to achieve the correct SAG. If you are harshly bottoming out, the volume spacers will control the progressiveness of the shock. - Page 12 AIR VOLUME ADJUST Solution Symptom Positive chamber Negative chamber Bottom out too easily Add 1-2 positive spacers Lacking support for Add 1-2 negative spacers pedaling Looking for more mid- Add 1-2 positive spacers Add 1-2 negative spacers stroke support step) If 1 step doesn’t step) Remove 1-2 positive Cannot get full travel...

Page 13: Rebound Damping Adjust
REBOUND DAMPING ADJUST TRIAIR TRIAIR2 EDGE-comp EDGE RAIDON Rebound controls the speed at which the shock extends after compression. Rebound damping control is relative to the main spring rate. Higher pressures require more rebound damping. Lower pressures require less rebound damping, so please adjust accordingly. -
Page 14: 3-Step Low-Speed Compression Damping Adjust
EDGE-comp TRIAIR2 3C COMPRESSION ADJUST The SR SUNTOUR Triair series and EDGE-comp shocks offers 3-steps compression settings quickly & easily to allow for the rider to adjust the compression damping for any trail condition. 1. Open: it reduces compression damping allowing the oil to easily flow through the circuit, offering maximum sensitivity. -
Page 15: 2-Step Low-Speed Compression Damping Adjust
WARNING ! Nevertheless, you should never set your rear shock to the „Close mode” while riding in rough terrain, or when the suspension is needed heavily. This implies the risk that the shock will get damaged when it‘s being compressed... -
Page 16: Infinite Low-Speed Compression Damping Adjust
When riding on terrain with big bumps and square edge hits: Choose a slower set up. In this mode your rear shock will move slower while being compressed. Therefore it will reduce bottom outs and provides maximum bump absorption. Using this mode on a terrain with small and fast bumps will bring bad traction to your bike. -
