Air forks and shocks

Recommended Posts

The Mont 348 I have recently purchased has Air forks on the front and I assume an after market set of Betor Gas shocks on the rear.

As the bike is in very good condition, I have no reason to go playing around with these from a maintenance view point but it would be useful to know the following:

1) What is the basic construction of these - I assume it is still oil filed with additional dampening being delivered by air pressure

2) How do people use the air element to set their shocks and forks up

The air fork was a conversion offered by Sandifords and used a light spring in addition to the air pressure. The air plays no part in the damping. If I remember correctly the standard pressure was 15 psi but I may be wrong.
