R Raymon Ravor: suspension setup & specs
The R Raymon Ravor is an e-MTB for trail and touring with 150 mm of fork travel and 150 mm at the rear. It is powered by Yamaha PW-S3 or Yamaha PW-X4. This page lists the 3 current builds with fork, shock and shock size and gives matching starting values for SAG and tyre pressure.

All builds
Fork, shock, shock size (eye-to-eye length × stroke) and rear travel, motor, weight and price according to the manufacturer. Wheel size: MX.

How it compares
150 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 150 mm median of the 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category in our database. Travel is the same front and rear at 150 mm each. On travel, it slots in between the R Raymon Korak and the R Raymon Tarok in the R Raymon range. R Raymon builds the frame from aluminium.
Depending on the build, fork and shock come from RockShox and SR Suntour. In total, 2 different forks are used, from the RockShox Psylo Gold RC to the SR Suntour XCR36X R. Drive comes from Yamaha PW-X4 or Yamaha PW-S3, paired with 840 Wh of battery capacity.
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: turn the red RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- 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.
- 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.
Target SAG for the R Raymon Ravor
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from R Raymon take priority.
150 mm fork, 57.5 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm | 24 % = 13.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm | 28 % = 16.1 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm | 30 % = 17.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm | 27 % = 15.5 mm on the shock shaft |
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 Albert Evo, Trail Pro, Ultra Soft, 63-622, 29x2.50; Schwalbe Nobby Nic Perf, 62-622, 29x2.40.
| 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
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.
