settings guide

The SUPREME DH V5.2 is a race machine with no compromises, made to go fast whatever the track. For this reason, frame settings are adjustable depending on various factors, like terrain conditions or simply just your preferences.

These recommendations are indeed recommendations. The best settings are the ones where you feel most comfortable on the bike.

SUSPENSION KINEMATICS

A flip chip at the shock anchor allows adjustment of the suspension kinematics. It has four settings that can be adapted depending on how you ride or what you’re riding. More linear with forward anchoring, more progressive with rear anchoring.

WHAT POSITION TO CHOOSE

NATURAL OR TECHNICAL TRACKS

HIGH AND LINEAR POSITION

➔ DRIVE SIDE

Position most used by our riders.

Promotes agility and precision.

Central riding position.

Responsive mid-stroke suspension for technical sections.

REQUIRES:

stock left flip chip
stock right flip chip

FAST OR ROLLING TRACKS

LOW AND LINEAR POSITION

➔ DRIVE SIDE

Stable and precise position.

Ideal for when speed increases.

Central riding position.

Promotes aggressive riding and grip.

REQUIRES:

after market left flip chip
stock right flip chip

SLOW OR MANMADE TRACKS

HIGH AND PROGRESSIVE POSITION

➔ DRIVE SIDE

Position offering maximum grip.

Mid-stroke support.

Bottom-out resistance.

Ideal for landing jumps.

REQUIRES:

after market left flip chip
stock right flip chip

STEEP OR SMOOTH TRACKS

LOW AND PROGRESSIVE POSITION

➔ DRIVE SIDE

Stable and forgiving position.

Low bottom bracket and slacker steering.

Rider weight on the rear.

Provides grip and support for a true feel of the bike.

REQUIRES:

5-10 additional psi

stock left flip chip
stock right flip chip

CHAIN STAY LENGTH

As an option, the SUPREME DH V5 has an insert to adjust the chain stay length and vary the balance of the frame. The bike is originally delivered with an intermediate setting to cope with as many situations as possible.

WHAT POSITION TO CHOOSE

LONG CHAIN STAYS

+6 MM

➔ DRIVE SIDE

More grip through turns, more weight on the front, ideal for fast and gentle slopes.

REQUIRES:

left chain stays adjust +/- 6mm
right chain stays adjust +/- 6mm
brake caliper adjust +/- 6mm

INTERMEDIATE CHAIN STAYS

0 MM

➔ DRIVE SIDE

Compromise between long and short chain stays, for very varied slopes.

REQUIRES:

left chain stays adjust 0mm
right chain stays adjust 0mm
brake caliper adjust 0mm

SHORT CHAIN STAYS

-6 MM

➔ DRIVE SIDE

Livelier, less weight on the front, preferred for slow and steep tracks.

REQUIRES:

left chain stays adjust +/- 6mm
right chain stays adjust +/- 6mm
brake caliper adjust +/- 6mm

REINFORCMENT BRIDGES

Depending on your weight, the terrain, your level, or the weather conditions, you have the option of changing the thickness of the bridge of your SUPREME DH V5.2 to modify its behaviour.

WHICH BRIDGE?

Our SUPREME DH V5.2 models are originally delivered with the following bridges:

SIZES XS/S

THIN BRIDGE

thin bridge

SIZES M/L

MEDIUM BRIDGE

medium bridge

SIZE XL

THICK BRIDGE

thick bridge

To improve grip in precarious conditions, for better reading of the terrain or for easy bike, there is the option of a thinner bridge.

The SUPREME DH V5.2 will gain flex with this option.

For lightweight riders and beginners, with smoothest riding.

For more precision and dynamism, when there is a lot of grip or when pushing hard, the rider can opt for a thicker bridge.

The SUPREME DH V5.2 will therefore become stiffer.

For heavy riders or those who apply heavy force.

For a weight above 100 kg / 220 lbs, we recommend installing a coil shock absorber.

I ride regularly and feel comfortable on most trails, even technical or steep ones.

I can carry speed through berms and handle medium jumps, drops, or wooden features.
