We want you to get the most out of your Cannondale bike. Setting up your suspension properly is the best way to ensure maximum fun is had by all. These charts below will give you the best initial air pressure and rebound settings. Please use the Cannondale dealer locator found here should you have additional questions regarding your suspension set up.
Be sure to use your “Rider Weight” when deciding what air pressure is needed. Rider Weight is your weight while wearing your riding clothes, shoes, helmet and hydration pack.
Fill your Lefty Ocho to the recommended air pressure that corresponds to your Rider Weight following the instructions found in the Owner’s Manual Supplement.
Set the rebound using the same method. Start with the rebound dial set all the way clockwise (towards Slow) and count clicks while turning the dial counter-clockwise.
