Centurion No Pogo E R3600i Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. No matter how steep or technical the climb is: the Bosch motor makes it conquerable! At the same time, the drive provides a very well-rounded feeling while riding with a dynamic power delivery. The well-tuned riding modes cater to bikers of all preferences. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

Even on rough terrain, the No Pogo E R3600i doesn't lose its composure thanks to the excellent Fox chassis, giving you a lot of control. Thanks to the solid power, the Shimano brakes can be counted on in the upper class segment. With four pistons , Centurion won't take any chances in that area. At the drive components and the remaining parts, Centurion uses very good parts. When it comes to the geometry, Centurion does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. Furthermore, the bike lies excellent on the trail thanks to its low bottom bracket and thus low centre of gravity. Even when it gets really steep, the long chainstays will stick the front wheel to the ground. Of course, a low bottom bracket also has its downside. In technical uphills, the pedal can sometimes touch the ground here. However, we think: This is manageable.
