How it compares
On travel, the Radon Jealous Hybrid is right where the “e-hardtail” category usually is: 120 mm up front against a median of 120 mm from 27 bikes. Among Radon’s e-mountain bikes, the Radon Jealous Hybrid has the shortest fork travel.
The Radon Jealous Hybrid does well on weight: 23.2 kg for the 7.0 625 build is 1.2 kg below the median of comparable bikes (24.4 kg). Within the range, weight varies by 1.0 kg. The starting price of €2,999 (7.0 625) is roughly in line with the category median (€3,150). The top build, 10.0 800, costs €4,499. The fork line-up ranges from the X-Fusion MIG32 to the Fox 34 AWL. Drive comes from Bosch Performance Line CX Gen4 Smart System or Bosch Performance Line CX Gen5 Smart System, paired with 625–800 Wh of battery capacity.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox Psylo Silver RC): 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: on FOX and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
- 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 Radon Jealous Hybrid
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Radon specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
120 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 20 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 24 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 26 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 24 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.60″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. 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, Addix Performance Line, wired, 29" x 2.6"; Schwalbe Smart Sam, Active Line, wired, 29" x 2.6"; Schwalbe Smart Sam, ActiveLine, wired, 29" x 2.6"; Schwalbe Smart Sam, Performance Line, DD, 29" x 2.6".
| 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
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
