How it compares
On travel, the Propain Tyee CF is right where the “enduro bike” category usually is: 170 mm up front against a median of 170 mm from 41 bikes. The rear offers 160 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Within Propain’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Propain Tyee CF Trail and the Propain Spindrift AL on travel. The frame is made of carbon.
Entry costs €3,599 for the Base build – less than the category median of €4,750. The top build, Factory, costs €8,924. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX, Marzocchi, RockShox and Öhlins. In total, 5 different forks are used, from the RockShox Domain Gold RC to the Fox 38 Factory Grip X2. The Swedish Gold build uses a coil shock (Öhlins TTX 22 Coil), so SAG is set with the spring rate rather than air pressure.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Domain 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: turn the red FOX, Marzocchi and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Coil shock (Öhlins TTX 22 Coil): SAG is determined by the spring rate. Only add enough preload to stop the spring from rattling.
- Shock (RockShox Super Deluxe): 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
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
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.
