How it compares
On travel, the Propain Tyee CF Trail is right where the “all-mountain bike” category usually is: 160 mm up front against a median of 160 mm from 15 bikes. The rear offers 145 mm, 15 mm less than the front. Within Propain’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Propain Hugene CF and the Propain Tyee AL on travel. The frame is made of carbon.
Prices for the Propain Tyee CF Trail start at €3,499 (Base), below the category median of €5,500. The top build, Factory, costs €8,599. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX, RockShox and Öhlins. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Psylo Gold RC to the Fox 36 Factory Grip X2.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Psylo Gold RC): 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: 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.
- Shock (RockShox Deluxe Select): 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 Propain Tyee CF Trail
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.
160 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 27 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 32 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 35 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 32 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
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.
