What PSI should I run in my mountain bike fork?

MTB fork PSI depends on your body weight and fork model. As a starting point, most air forks run 1 PSI per kilogram of rider weight (including gear). RideSetup calculates the exact recommended PSI for RockShox, Fox, Öhlins, DVO and Manitou forks based on your weight and riding style.

How do I set sag on my mountain bike suspension?

Sag is how far your suspension compresses under your weight. For trail riding, aim for 25–30% fork sag and 28–32% shock sag. To measure: sit on the bike in your normal riding position with gear, push a zip tie against the lower leg of the fork, then stand up and measure how far it moved. RideSetup shows target sag % and mm for every fork model and includes a built-in sag verification guide.

How many clicks of rebound damping should I use?

Rebound clicks depend on your fork or shock model and your body weight. A good starting point is 8–12 clicks from fully closed. If the suspension feels like it's kicking back or bucking over repeated hits, add more rebound (slow it down). If it feels sluggish or packs down, reduce rebound (speed it up). RideSetup gives weight-specific starting clicks for every supported damper.

What tyre pressure should I run on my mountain bike?

MTB tyre pressure depends on your weight, tyre width, riding style and terrain. Trail riders typically run 24–30 PSI front and 26–32 PSI rear (tubeless). Enduro riders go lower: 18–24 PSI front and 20–26 PSI rear. RideSetup calculates front and rear pressures based on your weight, tyre model, width, tubeless setup and terrain conditions.

Which mountain bike suspension brands does RideSetup support?

RideSetup covers RockShox (SID, Judy, Pike, Lyrik, Zeb, Boxxer, Deluxe, Super Deluxe, Vivid), Fox (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, Float DPS, Float X, Float X2, DHX), Öhlins (RXF 34, RXF 36, TTX Air, TTX Coil), DVO (Diamond, Jade, Topaz) and Manitou (Mattoc, Mezzer, Mara). PSI and damping settings are provided for every listed model.

Does riding style affect my suspension setup?

Yes. XC and trail riding favours higher pressure (more efficiency) and faster rebound. Enduro and DH riding favours lower pressure (more grip and compliance), more compression support and slower rebound. RideSetup adjusts PSI recommendations and damping click settings based on your selected ride style: XC/Trail, All Mountain or Enduro/DH.

Reduce high-speed compression (HSC)

Turn HSC 2–3 clicks out. This is the most common fix for a harsh feel on rough terrain.
Reduce air pressure by 5–10 PSI

Lower pressure gives more initial travel compliance. Drop 5 PSI at a time and test.
