Quarq ShockWiz - First Impressions

ShockWiz


The ShockWiz suspension data acquisition device first appeared back in 2015, the creation of Nigel Wade and his tuning company, Dusty Dynamics. Initially, the unit could be purchased only via a Kickstarter campaign, but the device caught SRAM's attention, and they decided to acquire ShockWiz, and to bring Nigel onboard to continue the development process. Now called the Quarq ShockWiz, the device is currently available to anyone with $399 USD in their bank account.
ShockWiz Details• Automated shock and fork tuning recommendations
• Works with air sprung forks and shocks with a single volume positive chamber
• Includes two air hoses for mounting
• Smartphone app for Apple and Android
• Waterproof and dustproof
• Price: $399 USD

I've spent the last couple of weeks experimenting with the ShockWiz, enough to get used to the app interface, setup, and performance. There are still a few scenarios I'm planning on putting it through in order to suss out exactly how accurate its recommendations are; look for a more in-depth examination once I have some more time with it.

Before we go any further, though, let's start with the basics: what exactly is the ShockWiz, and how does it work? ShockWiz is a tuning tool, a way to monitor your suspension's behavior over the course of a ride. It does this by constantly measuring a fork or shock's air pressure as it extends and compresses, and then using that information to calculate things like sag, number of deep compressions, rebound speed, etc... The device itself is waterproof and dustproof, powered by a CR2032 battery, and in addition to monitoring the changing air pressure, it has an accelerometer that can be used to calculate the average time spent in the air per jump.


Installation

Installation only takes a matter of minutes and a couple of zip ties – one side of the air hose is threaded to the ShockWiz unit, and the other is threaded onto a compatible fork or shock. Once it's hooked up, it can be paired to a smartphone via Bluetooth, and then calibrated following the steps laid out by the app.

Calibration involves letting the air out of the shock, cycling it a few times, pushing it to the end of its travel, and then pulling it to full extension. This gives the app the baseline numbers required to accurately measure how the shock is behaving.
ShockWiz

After the calibration is complete, the next step is to go for a ride. If you'd rather leave the electronic leash at home, it's not necessary to bring a smartphone along – the ShockWiz will still record the data, and then it can be reviewed at a later time, once you're reunited with your phone.


ShockWiz
The app contains a series of screens that display overall shock health, recommendations, and detections.


First Impressions
For my first few rides with the ShockWiz I installed it on a Fox Float X2 mounted to a Trek Slash. In the weeks prior I'd dedicated more time than usual to getting this particular shock set up to my liking, so I was curious what the ShockWiz would have to say about my settings.

One nice feature of the ShockWiz is that you can check sag before heading out on a ride without needing to get out a shock pump. Just sit on the bike, cycle it a few times, then open up the app to confirm your settings.

Out on the trail, I did a couple laps of a two-minute downhill, one with a mix of rough sections, jumps, and drops. The ShockWiz will even tell you if it needs more information in order to provide accurate recommendations, such as riding a rougher section of trail.

After those two laps, I checked in with the ShockWiz. My score was 96/100, but on the suggestions page it recommended letting out some air pressure and speeding up the rebound. I gave that a try, and after starting a new session (a necessary step after any changes are made), I took another two laps, and took another look. I'd felt like the changes were beneficial – decreasing the air pressure improved the small bump compliance, and as it turned out, the device was happy with those changes as well, bumping my score up to a 98.
ShockWiz
You can even find out how much air time you racked up during the course of a ride.

It's worth mentioning that there are four different tuning settings – Efficient, Balanced, Playful, and Aggressive. You can switch between them at any time, and the recommended settings will change accordingly, although there's sometimes a slight delay as the new recommendations are calculated. What goes into each of those modes is detailed on the ShockWiz website, but the names are fairly self-explanatory – Efficient creates the firmest tune, and Playful is similar to the Balanced mode, but with the goal of achieving a livelier feel.


Suggestions
To me, the 'Aggressive' name is a little misleading – following the suggestions in that mode will create the softest tune, ensuring that all the travel is regularly used. It's aimed more at DH riders, but even then, I feel like the Aggressive tune should be firmer, rather than softer – more like what a racer would run and less like the settings preferred by someone wants their suspension as soft and squishy as possible.

The other feature that's missing in the app is a way to record the data gathered in each session. As it is, when you tap on 'Start A New Session,' that previous data is erased. I'd like to have a way to easily record the pertinent data, or at the very least have a section to record notes in the app itself. I'm sure we'll see the app continue to progress as more and more users give ShockWiz a try – it'll be interesting to see how it evolves.


Do You Need It?
As it is, ShockWiz is sort of like a game for bike nerds, with the end goal of achieving a perfect score, that elusive 100%. Is it an absolute necessity? Of course not – the ShockWiz is simply one tool that can help take some of the mystery out of suspension setup. In particular, I can see it as being useful for bike shops working with customers to dial in their ride; the customer can go out with the device attached, come back, and the shop employee can take a look at the data gathered and see what steps might be worth taking. The same goes for coaches, or avid consumers keen to keep a close eye on their suspension's behavior. Or what about integrating the technology into the shock itself, eliminating the need to buy an aftermarket device? Now that would be something to see.

 Honestly what I see happening is one of your bike geeky/techy friends buys it, uses it, and from there it just gets passed around all your mates until everyone finds their ideal and the "ShockWiz" finds a dusty corner of the basement. I can see this being very useful in races though especially when you have limited practice runs to get your ideal set up in.

 I think it is an awesome idea and I would live to rent one for a weekend. I would be happy to pay £30. Hopefully some bike shops will get in on the act. They can rent it out ten times to cover their costs.

A lot of blokes like me don't have enough free time or access to shuttle assisted riding to really get to know their suspension.

This would be gold for me to use once or twice.

Not on the back though, because I've got a DHX2 and it's f*cking unreal!

 Does no one here have friends ? just all chip in and buy one together making it cheaper and its only an aid so after you have all used it write your settings down and you'll not have to use it again until you buy a different fork or shock.

 @heavyp: Not exactly true. Shock setup depends on (among others) the type of terrain you're riding. So yes, if you always ride the same loop you can set your suspension once using this tool and sell it. But if you do more types of riding this thing could be used more often.

 They'll claim the price increase is due to fitting the dyno data to the air pressure data and optimizing the assessment output. Looks way to basic to really get a sense..I would like to see it save all your rides between date X,Y and provide a all around setting that will be best for ALL of the trails you've ridden in the past month.

 The intended retail price was never as low as that. During the initial crowdfunding via Kickstarter the product was sold at a lower price to attract customers to a brand new technology that had no precedent, where backers would need to pay their money up front and wait months to be sent there device. The Kickstarter campaign ran at a loss where the expected production costs exceeded income. Kickstarter was deliberately cash negative so that the product had a chance to get off the ground, if it was priced sustainably at that time, I doubt the product would exist today. Today the product is priced at a point where it can be produced, distributed and supported as it needs to be. Believe it or not, the BoM cost is relatively high for this product. It is not trivial to find a small reliable pressure sensor that can handle 1200 psi and isn't damaged by oil in the air. Nigel Wade ShockWiz inventor

 I believe the original Kickstarter deal was right at $250. aimed at being a lower than the intended retail price. If you've followed this project from the beginning you would've noticed how much the device has improved since it's first iterations.

You act like Nigel was held at gunpoint to sell his product design. It looks like the added product development expertise, manufacturing and distribution support have helped deliver a top shelf product. If you like having gadgets like this, you'll understand why it's worth so much. If you can't afford it or don't want it, don't complain, just don't buy it ya dingus.

 @NigelW: Thanks Nigel!

I've had mine for a few months and I love it! It's helped me out a ton. Not just with refining the setup on my regular bike, but it helps when borrowing a friends bike too. I can get to the perfect settings for my weight and style in half a ride.

 @dgm10: I actually acted nothing like that, good job reading something that was never there into my statement. I LOVE gadgets like this, and have no doubt it would provide some useful feedback, and I also credit Nigel with a super clever idea and design. But in no way would this EVER be worth anywhere near $400 to me. Even if I wiped my ass with hundred dollar bills, I would not pay $400 for it.

 @NigelW: maybe i'm just cynical coming from a motorsport racing background, but my only other experience with suspension potentiometers and tuning is dealing with Motec/Magnetti/2D ECUs and data acquisition. granted the recording/sensitivity/playback functionality of those probably vastly exceeds the ShockWiz, and also has a fancy shmancy dash and controls the engine and blah blah blah... the price tag of $20k also does as well...

so in that way, for $400, this seems kinda neat and beneficial to play with. when a floor pump and pedals regularly cost $100+ each, and tires are often $70+ each, this isn't the end of the world. with the ability to have "run" playbacks or save multiple settings and "runs" so you can compare and keep notes on various trails/tracks, this would probably fit the bill real nicely for a lot of people. i like that this tech is trickling down.

 @NigelW: are you still involved with this company or it solely ran by SRAM now?

I only ask as LoamHuck brought up some valid points that would be extremely useful for the consumer.

Is it possible to run two units(f/r) simultaneously? A package would be nice to see if that's the case.

 @gonecoastal and @Loamhuck The ability to record settings within the app is probably our most frequent request from users. It is important to remember that outside of the Compression Ratio and Baseline Air Pressure (which you set during calibration), ShockWiz doesn't know how many clicks any adjustment is at or how many tokens you have installed. The ability to record current settings will always require the user to manually count compression and rebound clicks prior to enter the data. Currently the best way to go about recording such information is within your phone's 'Notes' app or, dare I say it, on an actually piece of paper with a pen or pencil! Just know the exceptional minds behind this product are fully aware of this need and that the future is AWESOME!

As for the product selector, that is a great idea that has been considered. There is however a lot of variables involved with that, not to mention the internal upkeep of such tables. At the end of the day ShockWiz works best when the Compression Ratio is accurately measured using the Calibration Wizard within the ShockWiz App. The process may take up to 5 minutes your first time through. Once familiar you can cut that down to 2-3 minutes max. Also, once you have the CR measured, this value can be recorded and simply re-entered later if needed. The only caveat here is that making a change to Air Spring Ramp (Bottomless Tokens and Bands) will change your springs Compression Ratio which means such a change requires re-measuring.
  • 1 0
 @AlexQuarq: that was gonna be my next question...

how are you accounting for "optimal" when somebody could have too many or too little tokens in their fork/shock? assuming that these things boil down to personal preference? and so just trying to isolate psi, compression, rebound settings only for a person?

what if somebody is not utilizing enough of their stroke, so the program suggests compression setting changes, but really they should be using less tokens for the given terrain that they're using for testing? how does the program distinguish the difference?

if you're only riding 1 ShockWiz at a time, how do you account for changes on one end of the bike affecting changes, OR BEING affected by changes on the other end? are you assuming its negligible for the sake of it being a mountain bike compared to a motorcycle?

anyways... beyond that... setting savings in the app or ability to record the dynamics of a run in conjunction with one of those apps that gives you speed/distance/elevation of the run so you can map certain shock actions to exact areas of a course, and the ability to run 2 ShockWiz at the same time, would be awesome.

 @Sweatypants: Lots of good questions here. ShockWiz does exactly what you're suggesting.

ShockWiz offers tuning suggestions for 6 adjustments; Baseline Air Pressure, Air Spring Ramp (Bottemless tokens and bands), Rebound (LSR), HSC, LSC, and Bottom Out Resistance.

When suggesting changes to these adjustments, ShockWiz takes a holistic approach. It considers the combination of all the tuning parameters available to us and tries to keep everything in balance so that no force is dominating over another, across all obstacles we encounter in a typical ride.

If your spring is too linear, ShockWiz will suggest that you "Add Spacers" to increase Air Spring Ramp.

If you aren't using enough of your travel, ShockWiz may suggest a number of things. The most obvious being to "Remove Air" to lower your Baseline Air Pressure. It may also suggest that you "Remove Spacers" to decrease your Air Spring Ramp. Creating a more linear spring curve allowing you to more easily use all your travel. The important thing is that it considers every aspect.

The Suspension Tuning Order article is very helpful to determine the correct order adjustments should be made, link below.

shockwiz.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/229083967-Suspension-Tuning-Order

It is important to remember that there is no such thing as a "perfect" tune – unfortunately it does not exist and suspension tuning is always a balance of compromise. A tune that works well on one part of your ride will not necessarily be optimal on a different portion. However, it is possible to get to a point that is a very good compromise between all the aspects we are considering. ShockWiz directs you to the point at which a good compromise is achieved, which we call the ‘Window of Happiness’.

As the name suggest, the 'Window of Happiness' is an acceptable range we want to be in. It may consist of 1-2 damping clicks wide and maybe +/-5% Baseline Air Pressure, for any given Tuning Style. It is important to understand that the Window of Happiness is not as simple as focusing on one aspect, such as having your sag at a particular percentage.

ShockWiz devices cannot communicate with one another, and you can only connect a single device to the app a time (to view the data). This does not pose a problem when using multiple devices, as all the user calibration vales and ride data is stored on ShockWiz, not within the app. The ShockWiz App is only a means to view the ride data and to interact with the device; such as to calibrate or Start a New Session.

Using one ShockWiz, and swapping it between the front and rear suspension, is no less effective than using two simultaneously. The only disadvantage of using one device is the added time in tuning the fork and shock individually. When you are satisfied with the Shock Tuning Score and feel of one suspension component, you would simply move it over to the other.

For more information see the 'Using ShockWiz' section of our ShockWiz Online Help, link below.

 @AlexQuarq: Good to hear you all are working on updating input parameters specific to field applications. I think the uptake and input data required to streamline it for your clients (in general) will be tough. Can this be automated via the manufacturer? I know that data related to rear geometry is hard to come by, but I'd be willing to bet you have most of the major manufacturers (that you have OEM setups) onsite. Five minutes is a good investment for most folks who can't bracket their suspension in a day or two worth of riding. Is there a CR vs. Force database? Can't you pull Fox and Rockshox shock data for each model and # of spacers? It's a simple polynomial equation that can be fit and used. I still have one big question that I that I haven't sorted out in my head...how do you deal with tire pressure? It's a mostly un-dampened spring that impacts your pressure due to unsprung mass and small bump sensitivity...or is tire pressure a setup parameter already? LASTLY, a race setting should be firm, supportive and aggressive not mushy for bikes with 170mm travel. Can I help you guys refine this thing !!! Seems like a interesting product
  • 1 0
 @Loamhuck: In regards to tire pressure, or any other aspect of bike set-up (geometry, mass, etc), ShockWiz doesn't know what it is, but it doesn't need to know. It is always analyzing the response of the suspension, looking for undesirable traits and trying to fix them. It doesn't care what induced the undesirable trait (most often caused by the trail, but influenced by the bike and the rider), it just wants to adjust the suspension to get the rider, bike and trail working as well as they can.

That doesn't mean that changing tire pressure doesn't have a significant effect on the riding experience - it often does, but these are typically to do with lateral grip and how the bike 'feels' and inspires confidence on the trail - not things that relate directly to suspension performance.

Because of tire pressure, the rider may have a different amount of grip / confidence and therefore be faster / slower through certain obstacles resulting in different suspension movements, but ShockWiz will just continue to analyse this and suggest any suspension adjustments it thinks will lead to an improvement.

 @gonecoastal: I've been involved the whole time since the acquisition, and continue to be so. Mainly focused on the engineering as that is my background, but I work on other aspects of the project too.

I think Alex already covered most of LoamHuck's points. As he alluded too, one of the nice things about a product like this is it has the ability to evolve after purchase, via updates, as new features are developed and implemented. Something which we don't normally think of when buying an bike component. Since the devices have been sent out to the original Kickstarter backers, we have deployed a couple of app and firmware updates to add in the 'Statistics' page, improve the tuning algorithms and add in multi-language support.

As for two devices for a dually, it is nice to run two units simultaneously, but is not a necessity, the ShockWiz 101 article covers it here: www.quarq.com/2017/02/07/shockwiz-101/#more-682

 This is an awesome product. Unless our shocks / forks are doing something weird like diving in corners etc how well are you seriously aware of how your shocks are working when your flying downhills? Be great for getting them from 80% to 100% even more so if you own more than one bike like most of us do. Well worth the money in my opinion. Looking forward to them becoming more integrated maybe fitted to where your volume spacers currently go so you can just leave it there or something similar.

 @AlexQuarq and @NigelW
I am wondering about one thing: the SAG measurement. Thanks to the calibration and the initial pressure, the device will know the starting point and the end point of the spring curve (which is proportional to the pressure curve since the size of the piston is constant), but how does the device know how these to points are linked? The size of both the negative and positive chambers will greatly influence the shape of the spring curve. Is Shockwiz assuming a "standard" spring curve?

That being said, I would probably have bought one if it was 200-300$ CAN but 400$ US? No way. If you've been messing with suspension for a while, your setup is probably pretty dialed by now anyway.

 Seems like a no-brainer for a service-oriented shop. Sell a full-service package - deluxe suspension tune or something like this. Send you out with this thing for a session on your favorite trails, analyze data, tune, rinse, repeat, then give you the settings to use on a cheat sheet, along with a bit of advice on how to modify them if you're road tripping somewhere (for bike park use, do x; for flowy XC trails, do y).

The bit about it not saving data? That seems pretty minor, can be fixed in the app rather than requiring a hardware change. The unit gets reset - but your app could save the session data, then allow you to compare it to past sessions. Could even tie that into a website so you could buy a membership and always keep that data around to compare over time.

 That's funny how people bitch about a product that could significantly improve how we use your 1 or 2K suspension and impact your riding experience when nobody says anything about crazy price tag of weight weenies products (carbon handlebar or wheelset) that really have a negligible impact on your bike performance. I'm pretty sure, perfectly tuned suspension would benefit me better than riding xtr instead of SLX or having my bike 2% stiffer and .5% lighter

 I kickstarted it and like it. You get to a pretty good tune in less time than the usual incremental adjustments you would do otherwise. I don't have the time or discipline for bracketing settings so with this i got very quiclky a way better tune out of my new pike coming from another fork.

  • 2 0
 Me too, you can get a very quick set up, Ive ended up just leaving it on the fork and having a look occasionally. Suggestions change with the terrain and as mentioned a screen shot of the data. They actually suggest one for the front AND one for the back, I did swap it over after some changes to see if it one affected the other, wasn't sure if it was the shock adjustments or my riding that made the thing recommend some alterations, kinda hard to do the exact same lap with the exact same effort. I found I spend more time thinking about the response to the changes and becoming more familiar with how the adjustments affect the performance. All in all I'm glad to have it.

 Question - Wouldn't you need to capture data from the front and rear at the same time?

I feel like as soon as you have your shock "dialed" and throw the Unit onto your fork/make adjustments up front.....you'd potentially change how the rear reacts rendering your shock adjustments now obsolete. (and vice versa)

Suspension gurus?
  • 3 0
 Hey JC9won4, Tuning a full suspension mountain bike does not require 2 devices. Using one ShockWiz, and swapping it between the front and rear suspension, is no less effective than using two simultaneously. The only disadvantage of using one device is the added time in tuning the fork and shock individually. You are correct about the getting one end of your bike dialed and then moving to the other, and that affecting what you just did. All that means though is moving ShockWiz back to what you tuned first, to see if there are any changes. I wouldn't expect you'd have to tune your fork and shock more than 2 times each before they are very well balance. I would also expect the amount of change on that second pass to be very minimal.
  • 1 0
 @AlexQuarq: Thanks for the response. Yeah, I figured you would need to go back and forth between the front and rear, a couple of times before getting it "nailed", which is of no real concern. My mind was more geared towards two units being optimal.

Are you guys still working in a support capacity? Or is that all in the hands of Sram now?

BTW Congrats!
  • 3 1
 Personally, as much as I like data acquisition, and being scientific about things, I usually just tune my suspension by feel. You can't put a number on how you feel, and what if you don't like the settings, but apparently they're correct for you, are you going to let a little computer ruin your bike ride?
  • 7 0
 I said the same until I tried it. It told me to change everything. I thought it was stupid but followed it anyways, I can always change back right? The result blew me away, it's way better than what I had before and has changed the way I set up my bikes

 I will make sure the shop I work in has one! Really I just want to play with it too. Will rent it out to customers and offer setup advice. It's in the same ballpark as the Andreani piston kits around and whole forks are fairly expensive. Moto X guys spend this much to get a base setup.
  • 1 0
 I’ve been mountain biking for years and years and through all that time I have owned various suspension products and also for all that time like most mountain bikers I have set up my suspension with the manufactures prescribed air pressures and sag and then twiddled the rebound and compression dials to where I thought felt best, mainly using intuition. As a mere hack/weekend warrior I, like 99.99% of riders, do not have access to Telemetry systems like some World Cup riders do so intuition and experience would have to do, until now
With the advent of the ShockWiz tuning system I now have my suspension dialled to perfection and learnt a few things about the characteristics of my suspension during the process.

I used Adrenaline Cycles as they unlike other bike shops have a unique way of delivering tuning to their customers. Most bike shops who are currently able to hire out the ShockWiz are doing just that hiring out the gadget and leaving you to your own devices where you have to figure the whole thing out, download the app, go through a learning curve and then start tuning your bike. Although the gadget and respective app are very intuitive you still have to invest time to get a handle on the way it works which could take days even weeks until you are completely proficient with it .

The USP Adrenaline Cycles offer is your own tech geek who goes by the name of Kev. Kev has already done all the learning on your behalf and for a comparable cost to just hiring the ShockWiz Kev will come with the ShockWiz. Having an expert come with the gadget means that you don’t have to do any of the learning and you can reduce the time it takes to tune your bike down to a mere 2 hour session with Kev. Kev is a bike mechanic and a self-confessed geek on all things bike and he is likely going to school you downhill as well, pretty handy to have around.

Kev and his pair of ShockWiz’s will go to where you want to ride or your local, within reason (based in Derbyshire with access to the Peak district and various gnarly local Downhills), calibrate the ShockWiz front or rear or both depending on what your needs are, calibration takes 5 minutes. Kev will then send you off to ride your bike in your current settings and then once the system has enough data reconvene, for me this was 3 runs down my local downhill play area . Once the data acquisition was complete you can both geek out on the results and Kev will then start suggesting what is required to hit the sweet spot. In my case at £1 a piece Kev whipped my rear shock off and added 2 volume spacers, this task would have taken me 30 minutes in a work shop, Kev did it in 4-5 minutes out on the trail, impressive stuff.

My session with Kev lasted 2 hours from meeting and shaking hands to riding away with a smile on my face. The session was fun, informative and successful. I chose the playful tuning option and I could genuinely feel this through my bike. Other tuning options are Efficient for the XC crowd, Balanced for a neutral feel, Playful for those who value the downhill side of riding but still want to ride some miles and finally Aggressive for the Downhill only set. So there really is something for everyone.

So if all you want is to have your suspension tuned properly and you do not want to go through the pain of learning how to best use your intuition or go through the learning curve of using a ShockWiz then I highly recommend contacting Kev at Adrenaline Cycles, he’ll have you set up in no time, and you get the bonus of living out your fantasy as a Pro doing preseason testing, or is that just me.

 I wonder why it does not work with Rockshox dual position air (DPA) forks. It seems like it should as long as you leave the travel setting in one position (most likely the full travel position) while you are using it.

Edit to answer own question: It's because at 0 sag both positive and negative air chambers are connected.
  • 3 0
 Hmm. Another mag said that dual position fork where fine as long as you left them in one position. I've got a Fox Talas 36 and would be interested in trying one of these.

  • 1 0
 @frampo: yes, it should work for both of those models - they each only have one positive chamber.
  • 1 0
 @frampo: Mike is correct, Fox air springs do not function this way.

The Dorado Air system from Manitou is the only air spring that I am aware of that works this way. Basically the air inflation valves on these springs feature a poppet valve that, when a shock pump is installed, opens the positive and negative chambers to one another allowing them to equalize. Once the pump is removed, the valve closes and the chambers become separate again. The ShockWiz hose functions no differently than a pump when installed, which is why it is not compatible.

ShockWiz compatibility articles can be found at Quarq.com > Support > ShockWiz Online Help. I also always recommend contacting your suspension's manufacturer or visiting your local bike shop for technical questions such as these.

 I would love this, as I am genuinely terrified of messing up my suspension settings as I don't have enough knowledge to know exactly what I am doing. At ~350 Euro it's just too expensive to buy for the few times I'd use it.

 Thing is though if you race, whether that be downhill or enduro, ideally your suspension setup should be different for each track. So having this device enables you to make the most out of your suspension every time you race and/or ride.

I personally would really like this, but it definitely isn't for everyone - probably only for people who compete often I'd say.

 @mikekazimer: remember it's just a pressure transducer that records and the software makes the info useful!
  • 1 0
 @MX298: That is more or less correct. ShockWiz consists of a highly accurate pressure sensor and micro processor. The device records the air pressure inside your suspension's positive air chamber while you ride at 100Hz (100x/second). By knowing the Compression Ratio and Baseline Air Pressure of your suspension, the raw pressure values can then be converted to travel percentage. It is the ability to determine displacement that allows ShockWiz to see how your suspension is behaving; how much travel you're using, shaft speeds, etc.

It is important to remember that the data gathered is very real. There are really 2 important pieces here; the devices ability to measure and record pressure data at the very high rate that it does, and then the algorithm which takes in the very complex information and outputs very easy to understand tuning Suggestions. The raw data on it's own is of very little use to most.
  • 1 0
 @AlexQuarq: this has been used on MX bikes air forks for some time. How do you deal with the negative air port also. We see changes in pressure with temp changes because of the 21% non inert gas when we don't run nitrogen too. I bet you spent some time making all that info (algorithm) useful too. . . I like it. Great idea.

 Really, really, really expensive if you consider the BOM. Like the actual cost of an iPhone. Looks like it costs less than $50 to make. We need to go back to when companies amortized their R&D costs over a longer projected product life. I'll wait for the knock off. Would be a great tool for big mountain rentals. Get more people in the sport if all it took was one or two hot laps on a short controlled course and the bike could be tuned to the rider.
  • 1 0
 Although the BOM may be low for the actual device, you are also paying for the software development and analysis of the curve ratios for whatever type of specified riding you select. Yes we can argue software development has very little overhead but this is a niche product. Not everyone is going to buy it, and if a lot of people do then maybe price will be driven down. The market will dictate whether 400 bucks is to steep(although as bikers we have accepted high prices for rather cheaply made things)

 Haha! I probably shouldn't comment of this but couldn't resist, and you're only half right here. Power meters measure the rider's performance, ShockWiz measures your suspension's performance. So based on that, ShockWiz measures how poorly the user has set up their suspension, which in the end is a very easy fix and inherently makes you faster. A few rides, a shock pump and some dial turning and will get your suspension right where it needs to be. Improving your fitness however requires a lot more work and doesn't happen nearly as fast!
