All builds
Fork, shock, shock size (eye-to-eye length × stroke) and rear travel, weight and price according to the manufacturer. Wheel size: 27.5.
| Build | Fork | Shock | Shock size | Rear travel | Weight | RRP | Calculator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rallon D-LTD | FOX 40 Float Factory Kashima GRIP X2 (200 mm) | FOX Float X2 Factory Kashima | – | 200 mm | – | €7,999 | Setup → |
How it compares
200 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 200 mm median of the 16 bikes in the “downhill bike” category in our database. Front and rear both work with 200 mm of travel. No other Orbea model among its mountain bikes has more travel up front.
The starting price of €7,999 (Rallon D-LTD) is roughly in line with the category median (€7,100). Orbea uses FOX suspension throughout.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (FOX 40 Float Factory Kashima GRIP X2): 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 adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Shock (FOX Float X2 Factory Kashima): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
Target SAG for the Orbea Rallon DH
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 on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Orbea take priority.
200 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 34 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 40 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 44 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 40 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi).
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker (or on the shock) or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
