Here is the Diamond guide (tech.dvosuspension.com/setup/diamond/) 120-139lbs | 54-63kg 90-100psi OTT: 0-2 rotations 140-159lbs | 64-72kg 100-110psi OTT: 2-4 rotations 160-179lbs | 73-81kg 110-125psi OTT: 3-7 rotations 180-199lbs | 82-90kg 125-130psi OTT 6-8 rotations 200-219lbs | 91-100kg 130-135psi OTT 7-9 rotations 220-239lbs | 100-108kg 135-140psi OTT: 8-10 rotations 240+lbs | 109+kg 140-170psi OTT: 11-14 rotations

Yeah man. I went with the AF over the carbon to get the dvo set up.
Best "how-to" video for these DVO forks I've seen yet! Bravo!
Fortuitous timing, guys! Just got my AF a week ago and I've been getting it dialed in. This gives me a little more info for getting it perfect. Nice work!
Loved being able to see the cut out view of whats going on inside. Setting up my new DVO sapphire later today. Thanks for all the info.
Great video, thank you for all the detail. One thing I struggled with at first was the OTT direction. Clockwise, counter-clockwise, less or more I couldn’t figure it out being a heavier rider. I believe all the way counterclockwise, or left, will bring you back down to zero. And then turn clockwise, or right to increase the OTT. Even as I type that I am still confused lol
Completely sold on the Ripmo AF now. Been eyeing the Ripmo for about 2 years but never had a chance to demo the bike or any DVO suspension. Being a heavier rider, 220lbs, I've identified with having difficulty in finding that sweet spot with my suspension. Hearing about this OTT setting seems to be a game changer! Thank you for all your reviews Mo!
I have a 1st gen DVO Diamond on my Mach 6 and it is awesome I had it on my M5.7 and it moved to the new bike with no hesitation. The guys at DVO are really helpfull with any questions and happy to answer emails. One other adjustment to consider is air spring oil volume, if you service your own gear you can tweak the air spring ramp up by adding a bit more oil during the rebuild. Also with the HSC as the clicks are so vague I just use fractions of a full turn for my reference. E.g. 3/4 turn in from fully open.
Hi Mo, The guys in the shop set up our DVO suspension and it has been riding well at those settings. Will play around with the settings after watching this (once we can get the bike out of lockdown). Very useful vid.
Best description of OTT set up I've ever seen. Wish I knew to take the air out of the fork to set it when I dialled in my Diamond! I set up my Sapphire tomorrow, I will be using your process, thank you very much!!
Yours and other things I've learned about DVO are a big part of why I'm considering a custom bike build so I can just pay once for parts I actually want and not have a lesser stack of parts I paid for and replaced. Once I decide on my frame I'll be reaching out to them for fork and shock selection. I have a Rockshox Judy now and it's been really hard to tune it because their weight scale stops 50ish pounds lower than my weight with my gear and water. Thanks for making a video showing off and explaining the DVO fork.
Thanks for the video! Got my Ripmo AF this week and it was really helpful to have a visual guide to setup my fork.
You two totally convinced me to buy a Diamond 140. My LBS never ordered from them, and now they are convinced DVO is the coolest.
Mo, you are awesome! Love your vids and real world point of view! I just got a Ripmo AF, primarily becuz of your feedback and you taught me how to setup my own fork now
This video is MTB god sent. Not much help on this particular fork on You Tube. I followed the online setup instructions as best as I could. I was not getting that small bump sensitivity I was looking for. I found it now thanks to you! Keep up the fantastic work!! I love my Ripmo AF!!!!🚵🏼♂️💨
Thanks! Love my Diamond! I hadn't seen that tip about setting the OTT before adding air to the spring.
Very informative. Thank you for sharing your fork settings I’m around the same weight gives me a great base to start.
Great job mo most times you hear someone explaining fork setup im even more confused after. Love the looks and reviews on dvo will definitly be buying once ive saved up some money. Stay safe hope you can soon get moving to cooler regions.
Awesome video Mo, most information suspension dialing video I have seen to date. Keep up the awesome videos you guys!
Thank you so much for this information. I just picked up a Ripmo AF (named her Letty 😁) and now I can try and get her dialed in. Love your videos! 😍
Very helpful breakdown of this fork! Appreciate it Mo!
Very good set up guide, thank you. Waiting for a Ripmo AF to arrive tomorrow and this helps a lot.
This video was very helpful I just purchased the sapphire this is going to help me immensely!!
This is actually the best DVO fork explanation out there. Very helpful, thank you. I have a DVO Diamond on my bike and I was trippin cause the HSC doesn’t seem to click and the DVO site doesn’t explain what distance a click consist of. The fact that the HSC doesn’t have a noticeable click but is described as a click is a very frustrating oversight. Love 99% of everything about the DVO fork but I wish the engineers at DVO would’ve made some type of indication on the fork for HSC adjustments.
Thanks for the video! I really like the fork but struggle with set up. This will help a lot of folks.
My Ripmo AF is arriving tomorrow thanks to your reviews!

Like many of the comments, I too have a Ripmo AF and this video was exactly what I needed. Got my shock pump in my hand so I’m going to rewatch the vid and give it a go.
So nicely explained and I love the helmet just in case things get crazy. Thank you!

Nice guide! Had my RAF setup to what felt pretty decent, but went back to the start as I felt I was missing something. More air! Super dialed now!
I’m here for the freebies!! I kid. Love the channel and loving the DVO bits on my Ripmo AF! Thanks for breaking it all down for us Mo.

So my question is about compression for preventing the front wheel from compressing too much when going off the lip of a jump. I assume that would be low speed compression. Would I set the low speed compression lever to be stiffer for this scenario?
Great information Mo. My DVO Diamond and Topaz T3 were both tuned for my riding weight of almost 300 pounds. The guys at DVO did an awesome job on this tune. Fine tune the rest in the field and suspension is incredible. I don't believe you can get this service from any other company with the same quick response time and from a team that cares about each of their customers!

awesome guide thank you this is my first ibis mojo hd5 and dvo forks and you helped alot thank you
Nice job Mo!
Thanks very much for this. Out on the Evil yesterday and it felt awful at the front. With this I'm going to be able to tune it back to how I need it.
Thank you very much Moe! i learned its better to let the air out to adjust OTT. You certainly are Moe Awesome than those "other" guy's!
Thanks for this! I just got my Ripmo AF yesterday and plan to start tinkering with the suspension tomorrow. I'd love to see a video on explaining/tips on how to tune the front and rear shocks to work well with each other and whatever back and forth process there is with that. Also low-key commenting because I want some merch too! Thanks man!

Cool, vid...I’m trying to learn maintenance and set up on these forks...just ordered a new bike with them
Thx for a great lesson. I’m looking forward to my Radon Cragger with a DVO sapphire d1. 🤓
Great information, I really appreciate it. a lot of information really fast so I put the playback speed to 0.75x and that helped.

I got a DVO Beryl fork at Christmas to go on a new Canfield Nimble 9 2020 frame that should arrive sometime in the next month, so not had the chance to test them out yet. All I need to do is drop the travel down to 150mm. I’m hoping it’s as simple as the instructions look! Thanks for the ott tips Mo.
Great video. waiting on my RAF now. Hopefully I will get it soon.

Big thanks from a brand new super happy Diamond & AF owner! If you could do this with the Jade-X that would be so awesome. I have it pretty dialed but at the same time think that I've just scratched the surface of what this bad boy actually can do.
I love my Dvo suspension Best in the business
I love my Diamond. I will be getting a Jade X soon for my Offering. And I need a DVO hat. 🤘🏻

This is the best set up video I’ve seen. I got my Ripmo AF this week and after one ride I’ve noticed things are a little firm . I set it up exactly from the manual .after watching this I can now tune it . Thanks Mo ...Mick 🤘
I can use all the help I can get on my Ripmo AF suspension. I am new to the mtb world and it is quite confusing at times. More info on this topic would really help me, including practical tips on "Dialing In" as I move forward.
This is great tune 200lbs rider weight! Rebound and HSC especially.
Coil rocks. Would love a shirt
Dvo is so nice👌
Not just another pretty face, nicely explained. Well done Mo!
Thank you for the Video, just got the Ripmo AF, love it ... working on dialing in my Fork , rear is good to go ... Fork part of find confusing because of the dials in the High and low speed compression... ugh... not sure if I got it right ... but will go out and give it a whirl..
Can’t wait for jade x review.
thanks for the vids. definitely contributed to me purchasing my AF, which just got here last week. ***anyone else get jealous seeing how easily MO can turn the HSC adjuster? for me, its both hands pinching and turning to get it to budge.... not even close to hearing any clicks/detents. its not near the end same deal turning it either way.

You can use the LSC wound in or out to give you more leverage, was shown on a DVO tuning video a while back.
