How it compares
At 140 mm, fork travel is 10 mm shorter than the median of the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category (150 mm, 101 bikes). On travel, it slots in between the Lapierre Overvolt HT and the Lapierre Overvolt AM in the Lapierre range. Lapierre builds the frame from aluminium.
Prices for the Lapierre Overvolt TR start at €4,499 (4.6), below the category median of €5,500. The top build, 7.8, costs €5,699. Every build uses a RockShox fork. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Psylo Silver R 15x110 29 to the RockShox Psylo Gold Isolator RC. It is powered by Bosch Performance line CX with a 600–800 Wh battery. According to Lapierre, the maximum system weight (bike, rider and kit) is 120 kg.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox Psylo Silver R 15x110 29): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- 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: 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.
- Hardtail: only the fork needs setting up. With no rear suspension, rear tyre pressure is the key adjustment for comfort and grip.
Target SAG for the Lapierre Overvolt TR
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Lapierre take priority.
140 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 24 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 28 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 31 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 28 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: Continental Kryptotal F Enduro Soft 60-622; Continental Kryptotal-F Enduro Soft foldable skin SL 60-622.
| 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 suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion 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.
