How it compares
On travel, the Propain Rage CF is right where the “downhill bike” category usually is: 200 mm up front against a median of 200 mm from 16 bikes. At 215 mm the rear has 15 mm more travel than the front, which is rare. Among Propain’s mountain bikes, the Propain Rage CF is the model with the most fork travel. Propain builds the frame from carbon.
Prices for the Propain Rage CF start at €3,999 (Base), below the category median of €7,100. The top build, Factory, costs €7,629. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX, RockShox and Öhlins. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Boxxer Select to the Fox 40 Factory Grip X2. The Base build uses a coil shock (RockShox Vivid Coil), so SAG is set with the spring rate rather than air pressure.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox Boxxer Select): 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: on FOX and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Coil shock (RockShox Vivid Coil): SAG is determined by the spring rate. Only add enough preload to stop the spring from rattling.
Target SAG for the Propain Rage CF
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 Propain specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes 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
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.
