Too light for your suspension?
The new Lightweight Tuning for light riders.
"I never use my full travel" – we hear it all the time. If you're light, most forks and shocks are simply too firm for you: the suspension stays harsh, reacts late and never reaches the end of its stroke. That's exactly what we fix – with tuning matched to your weight, so your bike finally works with you, not against you.

If your suspension feels stiff, skips over roots or never seems to use its full travel, it's probably set up for someone heavier. Lightweight Tuning fixes exactly that – here's what you'll feel on the trail.
More sensitive response
More comfort from the very first millimetre of travel.
More traction
Better grip over roots and rocks.
More control
Confident at speed and in demanding terrain.
Tuned to you
Perfectly matched to your weight and riding style.
Two stages, one goal: a suspension that fits you
Start with the essentials, or go all in with the TruTune Flow insert. Not sure which one is right for you? We'll happily help you choose.
Lightweight Tune

What the TruTune Flow insert does
The TruTune Flow is a plug-and-play insert filled with activated carbon that fits inside your fork's air chamber. The carbon increases the effective air volume, so your suspension behaves more like a coil spring – supple over small bumps, supportive in the mid-stroke, and far less harsh as the trail gets faster. For light riders that means you can finally run a pressure that holds you up without beating you up.
- Small-bump complianceSoaks up roots and chatter without losing support.
- Mid-stroke supportA more consistent, coil-like feel through the travel.
- Less speed sensitivityStays supple and predictable as you go faster.
- Run a usable pressureAdd support without the harshness – ideal for light riders.
You'll get a dyno chart with your tuning
We measure your fork or shock on our EMA dyno before and after the tuning, so you can actually see the improvement – not just feel it. You'll receive your own before/after chart with your tuning.
Illustrative example – your chart is created individually for your suspension.
"As a light rider, it was impossible for me to set up my suspension properly – until now. The individual suspension tuning made the decisive difference: sensitive response, full use of the travel and ultimate grip. An absolute must-have, especially for light riders."
