Sport Models
Sport Timbersled ARO snow bikes are equipped with Timbersled IFP shocks that utilize spring load adjusters to customize weight transfer and ski-to-ground pressure.
DO NOT EXCEED the MIN / MAX preload values (defined by the tables in this section). Never adjust spring preload shorter than the minimum allowable length. Adjusting shorter than this length could result in damage to the suspension. Failure to comply may result in injury or damage to equipment.
ADJUSTING THE SUSPENSION
For those that wish to customize the ride quality of their snow bike, complete the following procedure:
-
Ride your snow bike. Test ride your snow bike on preferred terrain to feel out the factory suspension settings prior to making any adjustments. Optimal suspension settings can change depending on terrain and skill level.
-
Tune vehicle balance using rear shock preload adjuster 1. See Spring Preload Adjustment (All Models) for preload instruction.
