Setup notes for this spec
- Air shock (Manitou Mara Kids Tune): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
Target SAG for the Canyon Neuron Young Hero
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Canyon specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
130 mm fork, 45.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 22 mm | 24 % = 10.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 26 mm | 28 % = 12.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 29 mm | 30 % = 13.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 26 mm | 27 % = 12.2 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.25″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough. Stock tyres: Schwalbe Rocket Ron / Nobby Nic 2.25.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.53 bar (22 psi) | 1.73 bar (25 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.65 bar (24 psi) | 1.85 bar (27 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.77 bar (26 psi) | 1.97 bar (29 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.89 bar (27 psi) | 2.09 bar (30 psi) |
| 100 kg | 2.01 bar (29 psi) | 2.21 bar (32 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.13 bar (31 psi) | 2.33 bar (34 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.25 bar (33 psi) | 2.45 bar (36 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
