How it compares
With 120–130 mm of fork travel, the R Raymon Yara 120 is on the shorter side; the median of the 44 comparable bikes in the “trail bike” category is 140 mm. Within R Raymon’s mountain bikes, it sits between the R Raymon Nayta and the R Raymon Rokua 150 on travel. 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 SR Suntour X1 to the RockShox Psylo Silver RC.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Psylo Silver 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 RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Air shock (SR Suntour Raidon R): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
Target SAG for the R Raymon Yara 120
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 R Raymon specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
120 mm fork, 50.0 mm shock stroke (29")
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 20 mm | 24 % = 12.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 24 mm | 28 % = 14.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 26 mm | 30 % = 15.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 24 mm | 27 % = 13.5 mm on the shock shaft |
130 mm fork, 50.0 mm shock stroke (Pro 29")
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |

| XC / touring | 17 % = 22 mm | 24 % = 12.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 26 mm | 28 % = 14.0 mm on the shock shaft |

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). Stock tyres: Schwalbe Nobby Nic, Performance, 57-622, 29x2.25; Schwalbe Smart Sam, Performance, 57-622, 29x2.25.
| 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.
