The suspension for the Giant Warp dual suspension bicycles is provided by Giant GTM-7 “coil-spring”
shocks. The shock has a pre-load spring to control compression and an internal oil piston to control rebound.
The shock has a compression adjustment ring to”pre-load” the spring (procedures for when and how to adjust
this spring are explained under “Adjusting SAG & Rear Suspension Tuning”).
Note: These rear shocks are NOT serviceable.
Different riders require different performance characteristics from their suspension:
(A). Heavier or more aggressive rider needs a stiffer spring and medium and/or heavier (slower) damping.
(B). Lighter rider needs softer springs and lighter damping.
