Gigadrive / Hyperdrive<br />
Faster, longer, further<br />
sport idol [spɔ:t ‘aɪdəl]: an athlete who is admired for her/his outstanding achievements. We admit that we take<br />
a certain pride in our new Gigadrive of MY <strong>2014</strong>. Because from the first drawing to the last decor, this new carbon<br />
rocket has been outlined, developed and designed completely at our premises – and thus is a <strong>CENTURION</strong> from the<br />
first down to the very last fibre. No wonder that it reveals its origin already at first sight: Its “Tapered Steerer” leads the<br />
Gigadrive with highly reliable tracking precision unerringly forwards. The slim frame with its filigree rearstay underlines<br />
the sportive demand of the new and fully UCI-compliant carbon racer.<br />
The new development of the Gigadrive was especially focused on the modern mix of top stiffness data (for maximum<br />
power transfer) and of enough comfort (especially when coping with long distances). For instance, the bottom bracket<br />
is remarkably stiff to transfer each of the pilot’s “leg watts” onto the road quite effectively. And at the same time, the<br />
slim design of the seat post as well as of the seat and the chain stays do result in an excellent flex for the complete<br />
rearstay construction. Therefore the new Gigadrive is a top recommendation for fast short distances as well as for<br />
many epic touring hours. With suitability for electric shifting groups plus internal routing of cables and wires, this<br />
<strong>CENTURION</strong> does prove its sense for future-oriented conceptual design. The latter also applies to the utilization of the<br />
new 11-speed drivetrain which is as well a part of the aluminium model Hyperdrive (otherwise unchanged for <strong>2014</strong>).<br />
