Centurion Lhasa: suspension setup & specs
The Centurion Lhasa is an e-MTB for trail and touring with 120 mm of fork travel and 120 mm at the rear. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line CX. This page lists the 2 current builds with fork, shock and shock size and gives matching starting values for SAG and tyre pressure.

Fork, shock, shock size (eye-to-eye length × stroke) and rear travel, motor, weight and price according to the manufacturer. Wheel size: 29.
| Build | Fork | Shock | Shock size | Rear travel | Motor | Weight | RRP | Calculator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1000 | SR Suntour XCR34X-BOOST Air (120 mm) | SR Suntour Edge X 2CR | 190x45 | 120 mm | Bosch Performance Line CX 800 Wh | – | €4,699 | Setup → |
| R2000 | SR Suntour Mobie34 BOOST EQ (120 mm) | SR Suntour Edge X 2CR | 190x45 | 120 mm | Bosch Performance Line CX 800 Wh | – | €5,599 | Setup → |
How it compares
At 120 mm, fork travel is 30 mm shorter than the median of the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category (150 mm, 101 bikes). Travel is the same front and rear at 120 mm each. Among Centurion’s e-mountain bikes, the Centurion Lhasa has the shortest fork travel. Centurion builds the frame from aluminium.
Entry costs €4,699 for the R1000 build – less than the category median of €5,500. The top build, R2000, costs €5,599. Fork and shock come from SR Suntour on every build. The fork line-up ranges from the SR Suntour XCR34X-BOOST Air to the SR Suntour Mobie34 BOOST EQ. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line CX with a 800 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air shock (SR Suntour Edge X 2CR): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Target SAG for the Centurion Lhasa
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Centurion specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
120 mm fork, 45.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 20 mm | 24 % = 10.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 24 mm | 28 % = 12.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 26 mm | 30 % = 13.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 24 mm | 27 % = 12.2 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.25″ 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 Smart Sam 29x2.25" / SCHWALBE Smart Sam 29x2.25".
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.58 bar (23 psi) | 1.78 bar (26 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.70 bar (25 psi) | 1.90 bar (28 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.82 bar (26 psi) | 2.02 bar (29 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.94 bar (28 psi) | 2.14 bar (31 psi) |
| 100 kg | 2.06 bar (30 psi) | 2.26 bar (33 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.18 bar (32 psi) | 2.38 bar (35 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.30 bar (33 psi) | 2.50 bar (36 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
