The Centurion Numinis EQ is MYBIKE's "Sport" tip. The SUV e-bike, equipped with pannier racks and mudguards, appears to be the ideal companion for trail and everyday use. It is based on a touring-orientated trail e-MTB.

Even the first Centurion Numinis EQ made a big impression on us in the editorial team a few years ago. More by chance, we realised that you can really ride trails on a bike like this! The Numinis back then also provided an important impetus for this test of current E-SUV bikes. Its genes also remain the new Numinis EQ remains loyal. For the integration of the new Bosch CX (tested here) Centurion has fundamentally revised the frame platform.

The shock is now located under the top tube, the bike offers a full 140 millimetres of suspension travel and the Swabians have also reached into the mountain bike shelf for the equipment. The classic touring tyre Nobby Nic from Schwalbe combines good rolling and off-road properties. The gears and brakes are Shimano Deore and XT respectively, while the high-quality suspension elements come from Fox. Centurion rounds it all off with standard mudguards and high-quality lighting.

SUV e-bike for mountain bikers

The fact that the Centurion Numinis R2000 is also available in the same configuration without everyday parts shows: Basically, the Centurion is a classic e-mountainbike. It is therefore hardly surprising that the bike clearly has its strengths off-road. Especially when the ground gets rough, the Numinis can use the long suspension travel to its advantage. The geometry encourages high speeds, even on rough trails. The high weight doesn't hinder much off-road, but the Centurion isn't really playful. On the other hand, the Numinis remains quite quiet for an SUV, even on trails. Only the side stand rattles slightly.

Disadvantage of the sporty genes: The Centurion Numinis EQ needs a good riding technique to realise its full potential. Otherwise, the low front end can easily lead to insecurity on steep terrain. In everyday use, the front wheel-oriented riding position with low handlebars puts a lot of pressure on the wrists, and tyres with additional puncture protection wouldn't hurt either. The steering is a little sluggish due to the MTB geometry, while the suspension is sporty and firm to offer reserves for trail use.

Powerful equipment and Bosch motor with a large battery at a fair price are a success. With the large 800 battery, even extremely long tours are possible without intermediate charging. The Bosch Performance CX (tested here) pushes quietly and dynamically and is very sensitive at the same time. A real top motor. The Kiox display also offers practical navigation features on request and rounds off the equipment of the E-SUV flagship from Centurion in a harmonious way.

  • Seating position not very comfort-orientated
  • Luggage carrier only mediocre

The MYBIKE conclusion

With the Numinis EQ and its sporty riding position, Centurion explicitly appeals to touring riders with mountain bike experience. Off-road, the Numinis EQ is therefore the most confident bike in our E-SUV test and secures the sport tip in the test. There are stronger candidates in terms of comfort and suitability for everyday use. - Adrian Kaether, Test Manager MYBIKE
