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. Among Kona’s mountain bikes, the Kona Fire Mountain has the shortest fork travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
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 Kona Fire Mountain
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Kona take 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: WTB Ranger XS 26x2.25" / WTB Trail Boss S 27x2.25" / M-XL 29x2.25" / WTB Ranger XS 26x2.25" / WTB Trail Boss S 27x2.25" / M-XL 29x2.25".
| 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) |

| 120 kg | 2.25 bar (33 psi) | 2.45 bar (36 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
