Suspension setup guides that come with your bike and/or suspension will often get you close. But it often requires a more experienced hand to get the very most from your shocks.
Designed in Perth, Australia and currently seeking Kickstarter funding, Dusty Dynamics’ ShockWiz is a small gauge that connects to your air spring, recording pressure data at a hundred times a second and in turn providing data for personalised tuning recommendations.
We’ve seen some professional mountain bikers use advanced and heavy telemetry systems to tune their bikes. These are, however, complex and extremely expensive. The ShockWiz looks to be a simpler, user-friendly option.

The ShockWiz works by determining a percentage of travel used. It seeks events in the suspension, such as compression spikes or packing down of the suspension over repetitive bumps.
“If an undesirable characteristic is severe enough, or is persistently happening, then ShockWiz will determine the suspension adjustment required to fix it and display this output via a smartphone appâ€, explained Nigel Wade, the product’s designer.
