FACTORY-STYLE CHASSIS COMPONENTS AND TUNING
* The outer chamber, with a standard air pressure of 100 kPa (0-130
kPa range), supports the inner chamber, much like the role of the
outer cylinder air room in a conventional fork. (Illustration D)

* The balance chamber, with a standard air pressure of 1,400 kPa (530-1,400 kPa range), provides a counter-force to the inner chamber,
ensuring ride comfort. When the fork is fully extended, the inner
chamber pressure is at its minimum and the balance chamber
pressure is at its maximum; when the fork is fully compressed, the
inner chamber is at its maximum and the balance chamber pressure
is at its minimum. (Illustration E)

* Because main springs are not used, changing the fork character is
much simpler on the SFF-Air TAC than changing the spring rate on
a standard fork. Adjusting the air pressure in the fork easily allows
the TAC “spring rate” to be adjusted – without the hassle of having
to disassemble the fork. Adjustments to suit rider and track can be
accomplished on site, without additional parts, and with minimal
tools.
