Powerful, dynamic, elegant<br />
In MY <strong>2014</strong>, not only the new<br />
E-Fire Tour is an enrichment<br />
in the range of <strong>CENTURION</strong>’s<br />
product program of modern<br />
pedelecs: In addition, the<br />
drivetrain specialists at Bosch<br />
have again improved their<br />
already outstanding midengine<br />
concept perceptibly.<br />
First of all, the new drivetrain<br />
unit clearly convinces with<br />
even more sensitive control<br />
electronics. Also remarkable:<br />
Bosch now delights with a<br />
distinctively more integrative<br />
design.<br />
the steerer’s stiffness. The new dropouts offer not only improved<br />
and easier adjustment but also enable drivetrain concepts with<br />
coaster brakes for the very first time now. In addition, the E-Fire<br />
Sport’s innovative two-piece top tube has been modified slightly:<br />
The clever storage compartment is now at disposal with improved<br />
functionality. The model “Tour” is completely new as a symbiosis<br />
of our racy E-Fire Sport and the low-entry bike E-Co: Its front<br />
frame triangle arises from the “Sport” frame but features a (by<br />
3 cm) shorter seat tube and a top tube which is attached in a<br />
considerably lower position. In connection with the E-Co’s rear<br />
section, the new E-Fire combines sportiness and comfort in a<br />
quite impressive way.<br />
All <strong>CENTURION</strong> pedelecs of MY <strong>2014</strong> (incl. the E-MTB Backfire<br />
E.29) share the new Bosch drivetrain components. From now on,<br />
e-bike fans can choose between the economically optimized “Active<br />
Line” and the decidedly sporting “Performance Line”. Both<br />
<strong>version</strong>s still feature three highly sensitive sensors. But thanks to<br />
an upgrade (now 1000 measurements per second), these sensors<br />
allow an even more precise adaption to the rider’s individual<br />
demands in the new season. Due to the newly integrated transmission<br />
at the drive pinion, the so-called chain engagement could<br />
be reduced for the benefit of a higher reliability of the overall system.<br />
Re-engineered accumulators and battery chargers complement<br />
the Bosch drivetrain in MY <strong>2014</strong>.<br />
All e-bike models are presented on page 116 ff or in our all new<br />
