RockShox BoXXer setup

Too much air, too much compression, or rebound too slow.

1. Check pressure against the chart for your weight first. Well above it means too much air.
2. Open high-speed compression 1–2 clicks (counterclockwise). If small bumps still feel hard, open low-speed compression 1–2 clicks.

Not enough low-speed compression, or too little air.

1. Add low-speed compression 1–2 clicks (clockwise).
2. Still diving? Add about 5–8 psi.

Not enough high-speed compression, or the spring does not ramp up enough at the end.

1. Add high-speed compression 1–2 clicks (clockwise). Still bottoming? Add one Bottomless Token.
2. Stay within RockShox’s max token count for your travel (6 on every travel).

Too much air, too many tokens, or too much compression.

1. RockShox says the fork should reach full travel at the right pressure. Let out about 5–8 psi and ride it again.
2. Pressure already on the chart? Remove one Bottomless Token.
3. Open high-speed compression 1–2 clicks.

Rebound is too fast.

1. Add rebound damping 1–2 clicks (clockwise).
2. Just added air or a token? Both speed rebound up, so add a click.

Rebound is too slow, so the fork stays compressed.

1. Open rebound 2 clicks (counterclockwise).
2. If it still sits low, check pressure against the chart and add air.

RockShox does not print rebound clicks in its manuals or spec sheets. It sends you to RockShox Trailhead (trailhead.rockshox.com) for the starting rebound for your fork. While you set air pressure, RockShox has you turn rebound fully open (counterclockwise), then set it to the Trailhead number afterward. No Trailhead number? Start open, ride, and add damping a click or two at a time until the front wheel stays planted without bouncing. More air or more tokens speeds rebound up, so add damping after either. Turn the rebound dial clockwise for more damping (slower return) and counterclockwise for less (faster return). Fully counterclockwise is fully open. Push the fork down hard and let go. If the wheel pogos off the ground or the bars kick up, rebound is too fast. If the fork stays low through back-to-back bumps, it is too slow.

RockShox calls them Bottomless Tokens. They change how hard the fork ramps up at the end of its travel, not its pressure. Add one if you bottom out, remove one if you never get near full travel. Adding tokens can speed rebound up, so add a click of rebound damping after.

• Charger 3 / 3.1 RC2: Ultimate through 2026 (Charger 3 RC2). Two stacked compression dials on top of the right leg (big high-speed dial with the small low-speed dial on top) and a rebound dial at the bottom of the right leg.
• Charger 3 RC: Base through 2026. One compression dial on top of the right leg and a rebound dial at the bottom of the right leg.
• Charger 3.2 RC2: 2027 Ultimate. Same two stacked dials on top of the right leg and rebound at the bottom, but the dials have numbers on them (low-speed runs -7 to +7, high-speed -2 to +2 in RockShox’s photos).
• Charger 3.2 RC: 2027 lower trim (RockShox calls it Base in its spec sheet and Select in its manual). One compression dial on top of the right leg and a rebound dial at the bottom of the right leg.

Ultimate has Charger 3 RC2 (2024–2026) or Charger 3.2 RC2 (2027). The lower trim has Charger 3 RC (2024–2026) or Charger 3.2 RC (2027).

RockShox recommends a lower leg service every 50 hours, a spring lubrication service every 100 hours, and a damper, spring and lower leg service every 200 hours.
