How it compares
120 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 120 mm median of the 27 bikes in the “e-hardtail” category in our database. Among Mondraker’s e-mountain bikes, the Mondraker Prime has the shortest fork travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
With a starting price of €4,199 (S), the Mondraker Prime is above the category median (€3,150). For the Rx build, Mondraker asks €4,899. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Recon Silver RL 29 to the Fox 29 AWL Sport. Drive comes from Bosch Performance Line CX, paired with 800 Wh of battery capacity.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox Recon Silver RL 29): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- Rebound: turn the red FOX and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
- 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 Mondraker Prime
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 Mondraker gives its own target SAG, use that.
120 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 20 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 24 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 26 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 24 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.60″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. 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.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.40 bar (20 psi) | 1.60 bar (23 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.52 bar (22 psi) | 1.72 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.64 bar (24 psi) | 1.84 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.76 bar (26 psi) | 1.96 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.88 bar (27 psi) | 2.08 bar (30 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.00 bar (29 psi) | 2.20 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 bar (34 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.
