Plenty of suspension travel, top equipment and modern geometry: The Centurion No Pogo E 3600i convinces with facts. How does the bike perform off-road?

160 millimetres is the magical suspension travel limit above which mountain bikes are generally classified as enduro bikes. But is the travel really the decisive criterion? And what if the promise of the data does not match the riding impression? Does the bike then fail? No, because suspension travel takes a back seat when it comes to choosing the right bike, especially on E-MTBs. However, when we tested Centurion's No Pogo in practice, we were actually a little surprised. It's not just the travel, but also the geometry data that gives the impression of a racy trail and downhill bike. But if you're looking for bike park and downhill challenges, you'll find more suitable candidates.

Less smart: the tangled cable routing.Photo: Markus Greber Centurion No Pogo E 3600l: Good: Centurion gives the No Pogo a permanently installed, high-quality front light and places the Kiox display protected behind the handlebars.

Florentin Vesenbeckh has been on a mountain bike since he was ten years old. Even on his very first tour, he focussed on single trails - and even after more than 30 years in the saddle of an MTB, these are still the quintessence of biking for him. He spent his youth competing in various bike disciplines and later his cycling career was characterised by years as a riding technique coach. Professionally, the experienced test editor now focusses on e-mountainbikes. In recent years, the qualified sports scientist and trained journalist has tested over 300 bikes and more than 40 different motor systems in the laboratory and in practice.
