XTC NRS
Your new XTC NRS bicycle is the result of collaboration between Giant Bicycle
Manufacturing and Renault Sport Formula One suspension engineers.
This frameset is built for cross country riding. It is a full suspension mountain
bike that sprints and climbs like a hardtail with the control and comfort of a dual
suspension.
The NRS or “No Resonance System” requires a “No Sag” set up. This is
different than other suspension systems, which incorporate sag. To get the most
from your XTC NRS bicycle, please follow the following set-up guidelines.
“No Sag” Setup (See Drawing #1):
1) As a starting point, set the positive air chamber (B) on the rear shock at
10psi over the rider’s riding weight. This is the weight while wearing all
your riding gear. (For example, if the rider’s weight is 160 lbs set the shock
at 160 psi + 10 psi = 170 psi)
2) To measure the travel, you can position the rubber “O” ring (D) on the shaft
of the shock to measure the amount of compression/movement.
3) Set the negative air chamber (A) at 50psi.
4) The rider should be able to sit on the bike at rest without compressing the
rear shock. If the rider compresses the suspension, add 10 psi to the positive
air chamber (B) and retry setup.
4) Tune rebound damping (C) to personal tastes(see Shock Basics and
Terminology).
5) If you have difficulty setting up the suspension, please see your Authorized
Giant Dealer for assistance.
