What It Is

The guys at ASV Inventions are always racking their brains, trying to make life simpler for the dirt bike crowd, and the Solo Sag Scale is yet another one of those products that have us mumbling to ourselves, "Why didn't I think of that?" Simply put, the Solo Sag Scale is a tool that you can use to properly set the rear shock sag of your dirt bike with, all by yourself.

Hits

Traditionally, setting your rear shock sag requires the assistance of a friend, preferably one who is good with math. Specialized sag scales eliminate the need to subtract the compressed measurement from the fully extended measurement, but they still require a second person to conduct the measurements while you sit atop your scooter. The ASV Solo Sag Scale makes it possible to set your shock sag, all by yourself, in three easy steps: 1. With your bike on a stand, slide the bottom of the Sag Scale into the bike's rear axle, then tighten the clamp at the top of the scale onto your bike's rear fender. 2. Remove the bike from the stand, sit on it, and after bouncing up and down a few times and allowing the shock to settle, reach back and slide the inner measurement scale down as far as it will go. 3. Put the bike back on the stand, read the Sag Scale's sag measurement, and adjust your rear shock accordingly.

Misses

At $125, the Solo Sag Scale is not a cheap investment, but it is a very creative and smart tool that makes an absolutely necessary set-up chore a relative breeze.

The Verdict

At TransWorld Motocross we swap bikes constantly between test riders and make sure to reset the rider sag with each change to ensure proper suspension function. For guys like us, the ASV Solo Sag Scale is an absolute must at the track.
