The SUPREME DH V5 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. Follow our guide!
These recommendations are indeed recommendations.The best settings are the ones where you feel most comfortable on the bike.
SUSPENSION KINEMATICS
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.

REINFORCMENT BRIDGES
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 to modify its behaviour.
WHICH BRIDGE?
WHICH BRIDGE?
Our SUPREME DH V5 models are originally delivered with the following bridges:
SIZES XS/S
SIZES XS/S
THIN BRIDGE
THIN BRIDGE
SIZES M/L
SIZES M/L
MEDIUM BRIDGE

SIZE XL
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 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 will therefore become stiffer.
For heavy riders or those who apply heavy force.

Turn your adjustment knob to the closed position (full clockwise) until it stops. Then back it out (counterclockwise) to the number of clicks shown in the table.
Comfortable on trails where you have to maintain momentum in the face of stones or roots.
I have already ridden in a bike park and on certain features.
