New e-MTB from Centurion: off-road pack mule
The Centurion Lhasa is designed to be just as enduring and off-road capable as the Sherpas from the Tibetan capital. Functional equipment, 500 Wh battery and Bosch CX drive included.

With the Lhasa, traditional manufacturer Centurion presents a new 29-inch E-MTB/trekking fully that is primarily trimmed for functionality. The equipment is nothing special, but fulfils its purpose. At the rear is a Manitou Expert Evo (80 millimetres of travel), while the front suspension is an SR Suntour Raidon (100 millimetres of travel). The brakes are hydraulic with Shimano's reliable M-615 and the gears are shifted by an SLX rear derailleur.

The new Bosch CX motor provides the propulsion in the Lhasa. The Lhasa will be available in two equipment variants. The top-of-the-range EQ model is fully equipped and has a battery with a capacity of 500 watt hours, while the simpler DX model has to make do with 400 watt hours. Prices are currently between 3299 and 3999 euros. The Lhasa is available in two colours and with or without a rack.

  The Centurion Lhasa already promises a lot with its name. In addition to the grey shown, the e-bike is also available in black with yellow decals.Photo: Centurion The Centurion Lhasa already promises a lot with its name.

Adrian Kaether's favourite thing to do is ride mountain bikes on bumpy enduro trails. The tech expert and bike tester knows all about Newton metres and watt hours, high and low-speed damping. As test manager at MYBIKE, Adrian also likes to think outside the box and tests cargo bikes and step-through bikes as well as the latest (e-)MTBs.
