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 fork has 15 mm more travel than the rear end with 135 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. Among Commencal’s e-mountain bikes, the Commencal T.E.M.P.O. Power has the shortest fork travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
Commencal uses FOX suspension throughout. The fork line-up ranges from the FOX 36 Performance E-Bike to the FOX 36 Factory E-Bike. Drive comes from BOSCH Performance Line SX, paired with 400 Wh of battery capacity.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (FOX 36 Performance E-Bike): 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 suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Shock (FOX Float Performance): 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: 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 Commencal T.E.M.P.O. Power
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Commencal gives its own target SAG, use that.
150 mm fork, 50.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm | 24 % = 12.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm | 28 % = 14.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm | 30 % = 15.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm | 27 % = 13.5 mm on the shock shaft |
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: Rear: MAXXIS DHRII - Front: MAXXIS Assegai; Rear: SCHWALBE Tacky Chan - Front: SCHWALBE Magic Mary.
| 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.
