How it compares
At 160–170 mm, fork travel is 10 mm shorter than the median of the “enduro bike” category (170 mm, 41 bikes). Among Radon’s mountain bikes, the Radon Jab is the model with the most fork travel.
The Radon Jab does well on weight: 14.2 kg for the MX 10.0 build is 1.5 kg below the median of comparable bikes (15.7 kg). Within the range, weight varies by 0.9 kg. Entry costs €3,499 for the 9.0 build – less than the category median of €4,750. For the MX 10.0 HD build, Radon asks €5,499. For suspension, Radon combines components from FOX and RockShox. In total, 4 different forks are used, from the RockShox Lyrik Select+ to the Fox 36 Performance Elite. Wheel sizes differ by build or frame size: 29 / MX.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Lyrik Select+): 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 and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Shock (RockShox Vivid 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 Radon Jab
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 Radon take priority.
160 mm fork (9.0, 10.0, MX 9.0, MX 10.0)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 27 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 32 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 35 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 32 mm |
170 mm fork (MX 10.0 HD)
| 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
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.
