Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox ZEB Select): 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 RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Shock (RockShox Vivid Select Air): 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: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
Target SAG for the Specialized Levo 4 EVO
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 Specialized take priority.
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.40″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Butcher 29x2.4 / Cannibal 27.5x2.4.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.48 bar (21 psi) | 1.68 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.60 bar (23 psi) | 1.80 bar (26 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.72 bar (25 psi) | 1.92 bar (28 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.84 bar (27 psi) | 2.04 bar (30 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.96 bar (28 psi) | 2.16 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.08 bar (30 psi) | 2.28 bar (33 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.20 bar (32 psi) | 2.40 bar (35 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.
