How it compares
With 150–170 mm at the fork, the Fantic Ridge sits above average: across the 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category in our database, the median is 150 mm. No other Fantic model among its e-mountain bikes has more travel up front.
Entry costs €4,490 for the Trail Sport build – less than the category median of €5,500. The top build, All Mountain Race, costs €7,190. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Psylo Silver RC to the RockShox Zeb Select. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 with a 800 Wh battery. Depending on build or size, the wheels are 29 / MX.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Psylo Silver RC): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: on RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
- 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 Fantic Ridge
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Fantic gives its own target SAG, use that.
150 mm fork (Trail Sport, Trail Race)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm |
170 mm fork (All Mountain Sport, All Mountain Race)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.60″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Maxxis Rekon 29x2,4; Vittoria Goma 29x2,4 / Morsa 27,5x2,6; Vittoria e-Martello 29x2,35/27,5x2,6.

| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
The sticker on the fork and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
