Platform Valve 
On bikes equipped with a Manitou Stable Platform Valve™ (SPV)™ rear shock, 
you can adjust the bike’s pedaling efficiency by increasing the air pressure in the 
SPV air cartridge. Increasing the air pressure will resist pedal-induced bobbing. 
Decreasing the air pressure will make the suspension more sensitive to small 
bump forces. Please refer to the individual shock manufacturer’s technical manual 
for specific information on how to adjust SPV shock.  
 
Sag 
All Giant dual suspension bikes rely on sag for their suspensions to work efficiently. 
Please take a few moments to read through this guide to understand sag as it 
applies to your bicycle. Setting bike’s sag will greatly enhance your riding 
experience and the performance of bicycle. 
 
Rebound Damping  
Rebound damping controls the rate of speed at which the shock returns to its 
original position after responding to a bump force. Rebound damping prevents the 
shock from returning to its fully extended position too quickly. This is desirable 
because it improves the rear suspension’s sensitivity to small bumps and the tire’s 
ability to stay in contact with the ground. It also helps reduce unwanted motion 
from the rear suspension when the bike encounters a bump while the rider is 
seated. Typically, the heavier the rider [and higher the neccessary spring rate], the 
more rebound damping is required. Please refer to this guide for details on how to 
set rebound damping date. You should also refer to the individual shock 
manufacturer’s technical manual for specific information.
