How it compares

On travel, the Propain Ekano AL Enduro is right where the “e-enduro bike” category usually is: 170 mm up front against a median of 170 mm from 56 bikes. The fork has 10 mm more travel than the rear end with 160 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. No other Propain model among its e-mountain bikes has more travel up front. Propain builds the frame from aluminium.

Entry costs €5,199 for the Base build – less than the category median of €6,900. The top build, Podium, costs €10,220. For suspension, Propain combines components from FOX, RockShox and Öhlins. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Domain Gold RC to the Fox Podium Factory. With the Öhlins TTX22 Coil, the Swedish Gold build has a coil shock – here the spring rate determines SAG.

Setup notes for this spec

Air fork (RockShox Domain Gold RC): 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.
Coil spring (Öhlins TTX22 Coil): if SAG is off, only a different spring rate will fix it. Preload should just keep the spring from rattling; more preload makes the shock less supple.
Air shock (RockShox Super Deluxe): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.

Target SAG for the Propain Ekano AL Enduro

Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Propain gives its own target SAG, use that.

170 mm fork (all builds)

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

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 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.

Note: all values without guarantee. Specification can vary by model year, frame size and market – if in doubt, the type plate, the manual and Propain’s information apply. Never exceed maximum pressures.
