CENTURION Bikes 2014 - english version

the 29” fully Numinis Carbon.29 even three times satisfy wishes
for carbon.
With outstanding 950 g (at frame height 46 cm), the scales level
off already early in the case of our new racing hardtail Backfire
Carbon.27 – excellent data for a frame of the new wheelset size.
All the more pleasant: The postulate for modern features such as
internal cable routing or a 12 mm thru-axle at the rear is fulfilled
very impressively. Due to CENTURION’s typically tapered steerer,
the carbon racer convinces with top-level steering precision. Due
to the broad connection with High Direct Mount derailleur, the
bottom bracket presents itself equally stiff and thus propulsionorientated.
On the other hand, comfort rules at the rearstay: Thin
stays, a brake mount relocated into the rear frame triangle and a
slim seat tube for a 27.2 mm seat post caress the athlete’s backside.
The two Twentyniners of CENTURION MY 2014 have been re-engineered
partially: The frame weight of the racing hardtail Backfire
Carbon.29 has been reduced by 80 g – certainly one of the factors
which made this bike the fastest machine at the 2013 version
of the legendary BIKE Transalp. And our already completely convincing
tour fully Numinis Carbon.29 transfers its well-proven 12
mm rear thru-axle to the aluminium equivalents of the series – for
even more stiffness and considerably simplified wheel change.
