Al Ko Air Top Suspension

I have recently purchased a Symbol fitted with Al Ko Air Top suspension.  I understand how to top it up but is there an optimum setting to start with ?  Any comments would be welcome.  Many thanks.  Bill

It depends how bouncy you want it. It’s a personal preference, hence why it’s adjustable. On my gauges the green zone is 2 bar to 4 bar, and I just use 3 bar, right in the middle. I’ve tried it on 2 bar and the ride was too bouncy for me.

a good setting to start with is 2 bar and down to 1.5 bar .set the pressure on level ground

It is vital to set the pressure on level ground, especially side-to-side level, if not the pressure will be way out in use.

After setting the pressure on level ground then put a block of wood or drive on a levelling ramp with just one rear tyre then look at your pressures and you will see a change in the pressures
