How it compares
Up front the Orbea Rallon runs 180 mm – 10 mm more than the 170 mm median we calculated from 41 bikes in the “enduro bike” category. The rear offers 170 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Within Orbea’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Orbea Occam SL and the Orbea Rallon DH on travel.
The starting price of €5,399 (E10) is roughly in line with the category median (€4,750). For the E-LTD build, Orbea asks €9,999. Orbea uses FOX suspension throughout. The fork line-up ranges from the FOX 38 Float Factory Kashima GRIP to the FOX 38 Float Factory Kashima GRIP X2.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (FOX 38 Float Factory Kashima GRIP): 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: 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 X 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
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Orbea specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
180 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 31 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 36 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 40 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 36 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.40″ 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.
| 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
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) 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.
