Your bike is equipped with a Specialized AFR suspension unit. Please read the following information for proper setup and service before riding. Please contact Specialized at (877) 808-8154 for any questions. Please read the following warnings. Because failure to follow any warnings may result in a catastrophic failure, resulting in serious personal injury or death, this phrase may not be repeated in connection with each Warning. Make sure that you review and understand the warnings, instructions, and content of your bicycle manuals. SERVICE AND MODIFICATIONS As a first point of contact for all warranty or service issues, please refer to your local Authorized Specialized dealer. Any service must be performed by an Authorized Specialized Service Center. Technological advances have made frames and shocks more complex, and the pace of innovation is increasing. It is impossible for this manual or the accompanying manuals to provide all of the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your shock. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical to have work performed by an Authorized Specialized Service Center. Do not modify your shock or bicycle. Any modifications, non-authorized replacement parts or improper service will void the warranty and can cause damage to the shock unit and/or frame and can cause injury to the rider. Proper maintenance is critical to the optimal performance and lifespan of the shock. Please follow the service schedule recommended in this manual. If your shock ever makes any unusual noises or loses air/oil, stop riding immediately and have the shock inspected by your local Authorized Specialized dealer or by an Authorized Specialized Service Center. NOTE: Specialized shocks are pressurized with nitrogen (Brain reservoirs on Epic and Stumpjumper models, internal shock body on Enduro SL models). The charged section does not need to be opened to perform any cleaning or lubricating of the main air chamber. The charged section of the shock should not be opened except by an Authorized Service Center. Attempting to open the charged section of the shock is dangerous, can result in serious injury and will void the warranty. If the shock is compressed or will not return with no load on the bicycle, do not attempt to service. Have the shock inspected by an Authorized Specialized Service Center. WARNING! Service on Specialized shocks requires special knowledge and tools. Specialized recommends that all service and repairs be performed by an Authorized Specialized Service Center. WARNING! Never modify your shock or frame in any way. Do not sand, drill, fill, or remove parts. Do not install incompatible after-market suspension parts. Riding with a damaged, broken, malfunctioning or improperly modified frame or shock, can cause you to lose control and fall. WARNING! Any modification of your frame or shock means that your bike no longer meets our specifications and therefore voids your warranty. WARNING! Specialized shocks are only for use on designated Specialized bikes. Use of these shocks on any non-recommended bikes can result in poor performance, damage to the shock and/or bike and will void the warranty. TERMINOLOGY SHOCK SAG: The amount the shock compresses when the rider’s body weight is applied to the shock while sitting on the bike. Please refer to each bike model’s shock setup chart to determine correct air pressure and corresponding sag percentage. COMPRESSION DAMPING: Controls the rate of compression of the shock. It works in conjunction with main air spring to help absorb events experienced at the rear wheel. SPIKE VALVE: Part of the compression damping system that will dump large volumes of oil as the system encounters larger, faster bump impacts allowing for great bump absorption without ove...
