Hi whyte riders and others.

I'm recently purchased the new g170s 2020 and am expecting delivery within the next week or so.

So just after abit of suspension setup advice and tuning.

I am a heavy guy at 98kg so just wondering on how much sag, pressure etc to run? Would be much appreciated.

Also of topic what tyre pressures would you recommend for my weight.

Regards
Mick

I have the 2019 G170s.

On the rear shock I've settled on 28% sag.
On the fork, a good starting point is your weight in PSI - so around 100 PSI for you would be good.,
I ended up with about 10 PSI over my weight ( I weigh 80kg and run (90 PSI).

Tyre pressures - I'm not sure for your weight.
I use Nukeproof ARD inserts and run DoubleDown casing tyres and can get away with pretty low pressures.
20 PSI front/23 PSI rear.
