How it compares
On travel, the Lapierre Overvolt HT is right where the “e-hardtail” category usually is: 120 mm up front against a median of 120 mm from 27 bikes. Among Lapierre’s e-mountain bikes, the Lapierre Overvolt HT has the shortest fork travel. Lapierre builds the frame from aluminium.
The starting price of €2,999 (5.6) is roughly in line with the category median (€3,150). For the 8.8 build, Lapierre asks €3,999. The fork line-up ranges from the Suntour SF25-XCR34 Boost DS to the RockShox Psylo Silver R 15x110 29. Drive comes from Bosch Performance Line PX or Bosch Performance line CX, paired with 600–800 Wh of battery capacity. According to Lapierre, the maximum system weight (bike, rider and kit) is 120 kg. Wheel sizes differ by build or frame size: 27.5 / 29.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Psylo Silver R 15x110 29): 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 RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
- 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 Lapierre Overvolt HT
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Lapierre gives its own target SAG, use that.
120 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 20 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 24 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 26 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 24 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.60″ 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: Maxxis Minion DHF EXO TR 60TPI 2.6; Schwalbe Nobby Nic Performance ADDIX, 67EPI 65-584; XLC VT-M30 Cirrus 66-584.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.40 bar (20 psi) | 1.60 bar (23 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.52 bar (22 psi) | 1.72 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.64 bar (24 psi) | 1.84 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.76 bar (26 psi) | 1.96 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.88 bar (27 psi) | 2.08 bar (30 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.00 bar (29 psi) | 2.20 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 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.
