Dialing In The Suspension On My 2026 DH Bike

In this video, I take you along for the entire suspension setup process on my brand-new Ari Superior Peak DH — starting from my very first lap on the bike and documenting every single change I make along the way. This isn’t a “perfect setup” video — it’s a real-world suspension tuning vlog, where I ride, feel, adjust, and repeat. From initial impressions to incremental changes, you’ll see exactly how I dial in my Fox 40 fork and Fox DHX2 rear shock for downhill riding. If you’re building a new DH bike, setting up a Fox 40, or trying to understand why suspension changes matter — this video is for you. What’s covered in this video: • First lap impressions on the Ari Superior Peak DH • Fox 40 setup changes (air pressure, damping, feel) • Fox DHX2 tuning process • How each adjustment affects traction, support, and confidence • Real-time feedback while riding downhill • Suspension setup mindset: one change at a time Bike Setup: • Frame: Ari Superior Peak DH • Fork: Fox 40 • Shock: Fox DHX2 Subscribe for new videos every Monday, and new shorts every Tuesday and Thursday!
