|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R6000i | RockShox Lyrik Select+ (150 mm) | RockShox Deluxe Select+ | 210x55 | 145 mm | Bosch SX 400 Wh | – | €7,999 | Setup → |

How it compares
150 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 150 mm median of the 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category in our database. The rear offers 145 mm, 5 mm less than the front. On travel, it slots in between the Centurion Lhasa and the Centurion No Pogo in the Centurion range. The frame is made of carbon.
With a starting price of €7,999 (R6000i), the Centurion No Pogo SL is above the category median (€5,500). For the R8000i build, Centurion asks €9,999. For suspension, Centurion combines components from FOX and RockShox. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Lyrik Select+ to the FOX 36 Factory. It is powered by Bosch SX with a 400 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Lyrik Select+): 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: 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.
- Air shock (RockShox Deluxe Select+): 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: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
Target SAG for the Centurion No Pogo SL
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.
150 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm | 24 % = 13.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm | 28 % = 15.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm | 30 % = 16.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm | 27 % = 14.9 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.40″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. 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. Stock tyres: Schwalbe Magic Mary 29x2.4" / Schwalbe Hans Dampf 27.5x2x35".
| 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
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
