How it compares
200–203 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 200 mm median of the 16 bikes in the “downhill bike” category in our database. No other YT model among its mountain bikes has more travel up front.
In total, 3 different forks are used, from the RockShox BoXXer Base to the RockShox BoXXer Ultimate.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox BoXXer Base): 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.
- 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 YT Tues
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 YT specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
200 mm fork (CORE 2, CORE 3, Limited 2025)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 34 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 40 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 44 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 40 mm |
203 mm fork (CORE 4)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 35 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 41 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 45 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 41 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.40″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing. 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.
| 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
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.
