R Raymon Hardray: suspension setup & specs
The R Raymon Hardray is an e-hardtail with 100 mm of fork travel. It is powered by Yamaha PW-S2 or Yamaha PW-X3. This page lists the 2 current builds with fork and gives matching starting values for SAG and tyre pressure.

How it compares
At 100 mm, fork travel is 20 mm shorter than the median of the “e-hardtail” category (120 mm, 27 bikes). Of R Raymon’s e-mountain bikes, the R Raymon Hardray offers the least travel up front. R Raymon builds the frame from aluminium.
In total, 2 different forks are used, from the SR Suntour XCM32 to the RockShox Judy Silver TK. It is powered by Yamaha PW-S2 or Yamaha PW-X3 with a 720 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox Judy Silver TK): 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 RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
- Hardtail: without rear suspension, rear tyre pressure largely decides comfort and traction – it is worth testing in 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) steps.
Target SAG for the R Raymon Hardray
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if R Raymon gives its own target SAG, use that.
100 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 17 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 20 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 22 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 20 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. Stock tyres: Schwalbe Smart Sam Active, 60-584, 27.5x2.35.
| 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
The sticker on the fork 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.
