To adjust the ProPedal knob: Turn the ProPedal lever to the PROPEDALposition, as shown in graphic above. Lift the ProPedal knob (see frame #2in the drawing below). Turn the ProPedal knob clockwise (relative to the ProPedal knob facing the user) until the selection you want—1, 2, or 3—is aligned with the ProPedal lever (#3).

Pressurize your main air chamber to a minimum of 50 psi and no more than 300 psi.

FoX shocks should be left at the factory setting of 200 psi of nitrogen.

For the rear shock, start at about half of your rider weight for air pressure. You will have to adjust from here, but you will want to achieve the proper SAG for your frame, as recommended by your frame manufacturer. Typically this is somewhere between 30-40% of overall travel.

CTD stands for Climb, Trail and Descend and it is compression damping, not “lockout”.

The ProPedal knob clicks twice per setting as it turns. The first click occurs as you exit the current setting; the second click as you engage the new setting. Push the ProPedal knob into its new position (#4). The ProPedal knob should NOT be adjusted on-the-fly. It should only be adjusted while in a stationary position.

Have a look at the manual for your specific RP23 or download it from the fox website. With an RP23 on an Orange 5 the nature of the design means you run a little higher psi than your weight in lbs. Because suspension designs and riding skills vary, optimal settings can vary from bike to bike and rider to rider.

Adaptive Logic: For 2012, fox has re-worked the adjustment on the ProPedal and re-named it ‘Adaptive Logic.’ You still get three options for the little dial on top of the lever, but now they are numbered ‘0’, ‘1’ and ‘2’ and it sets the shock’s low-speed compression damping.
