How it compares
100 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 100 mm median of the 46 bikes in the “cross-country hardtail” category in our database. Of CUBE’s mountain bikes, the CUBE Phenix offers the least travel up front. CUBE builds the frame from carbon.
At a minimum of 11.1 kg (C:62 Rookie SLX build), the CUBE Phenix is heavier than its category median of 10.0 kg – 1.1 kg more. Every build uses a SR Suntour fork.
Setup notes for this spec
- Hardtail: only the fork needs setting up. With no rear suspension, rear tyre pressure is the key adjustment for comfort and grip.
Target SAG for the CUBE Phenix
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If CUBE specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
100 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 17 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 20 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 22 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 20 mm |
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 Racing Ray / Ralph 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
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion 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.
