How it compares
120 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 120 mm median of the 27 bikes in the “e-hardtail” category in our database. Of Simplon’s e-mountain bikes, the Simplon Cure :e offers the least travel up front.
Drive comes from Bosch Performance Line CX Gen5 (alternatively PX), paired with 800 Wh of battery capacity.
Setup notes for this spec
- e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
- 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 Simplon Cure :e
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 Simplon take priority.
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.

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.
