Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the nest line of suspension bikes
available!
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 rst 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 modications, 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, ll, or
remove parts. Do not install incompatible after-market suspension parts. Riding
with a damaged, broken, malfunctioning or improperly modied frame or shock, can
cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! Any modication of your frame or shock means that your bike no longer
meets our specications and therefore voids your warranty.
