Easy Sus | MTB Suspension Calculator
Enter your fork and shock components individually. Choose rider-weight input units separately from pressure and spring-rate output units, then use rear travel and shock stroke to refine rear shock pressure from the component baseline.
Service before setup: Make sure your fork and shock are clean, holding air, moving smoothly, and responding to adjusters before chasing pressure, spring rate, rebound, or compression changes. If the bike suddenly feels sticky, harsh, noisy, inconsistent, loses pressure, leaks oil, or needs unusual settings to feel normal, it may need service instead of tuning.
Rider input
Optional: frame leverage curves change through travel. If you know the exact leverage ratio at sag, enter it and Easy Sus will use that instead of the generic profile estimate. Otherwise, the selected profile estimates leverage at sag from rear travel divided by shock stroke.

Component Database
Search the stored component database for model-year details, damper type, adjustments, volume-spacer information, and raw manufacturer tables where available.
Search component data
This page reads from the same Easy Sus stored component database used by the calculator, with selected-year damper and max-pressure logic where applicable.
Tuning Principles
Use the calculator numbers as a starting point, then bracket one variable at a time.
Troubleshooting
Generic troubleshooting flow for common ride-feel problems. Use one change at a time, then repeat the same trail section.
