Levo Gen 3 Target Sag %

[Dave_B]

What is it for the Gen 3 levo? 30% front and rear?

I run 30% front and rear. Then the fork is basically open 24/7.

Ummm . Yeh I suppose. There no rules . Sounds like a good starting point . Try 20 and compare too 30 . Harden up rebound. Then loosen it up . It's different for everyone.

Wear your usual riding kit, including boots, helmet and backpack.
If the bike is completely new to you, start at 25%, then see how it rides. It is easy enough to change. Don't forget that changing the spring pressure affects the rebound damping too. I usually take several trips out with my shock pump before I stop fettling and leave the shock pump behind. Whatever sag% you decide that you prefer, don't forget to check every few months. When I say "check", I don't mean with your shock pump, that will just let air out. Instead check the sag% not the psi.

thanks, I know all about suspension setup etc, I just wasn't sure what the target sag was for a 'default setup' for the levo. SOunds like its 30% and adjust from there.

I am about 25% on fork and ill bottom it once in a blue moon on a big drop and I am 'just' under 30% on rear with gnar dog spacer installed and I bottom it out quite a lot even with 350psi but its not really noticeable.
2020 Levo
im 105kg with kit

My apologies, I should have made more/different assumptions.

I think it more likely to need different SAG in the fork to the shock, possibly determined by the weight balance of the bike with the rider in the ready position and the stroke of the fork compared to the shock ............ but also to check to see if the bike feels balanced front to back when you have decided on settings. I do this by ridng quite slowly on the flat up on the pedals and bounce the bike. My preference is for the front and back to feel equally sprung or slighly more plush/faster on the fork.

Try starting with the Suspension Calculator on the Spesh site. They provide start pts for each model and size. Suspension Calculator App | Specialized.com

With the fox suspension: 20% front and 30% rear in attack position. Works best for me.

In the levo paper user guide thst comes with the bike it's rear design sag is 25%- 13.75mm . Not suggesting this Is the correct sag point for everyone tho. The kenevo is stated to be 30% which I found interesting

Do you have a picture of this page?

I just set mine by preferred feel and ended up at 15.5mm.

As always, sag is just a starting point. You should always run what feels best to you, not what the sag number says.

front - depends a lot on your riding.
I guess close to 20%, with more SAG, suspension will be supple, but not enough supportive on steep descends.
For bikeparks I put extra 5-10psi
