CENTURION Bikes 2014 - english version

29er Marathon / Tour
Numinis.29
The perfect tour bike
in·ter·pre·ta·tion [ɪntɜ:prɪ’teɪʃən]: exegesis, perception, depiction. Especially in recent years, MTBs have experienced
intense further development and refinement – in perfect accordance with the ever more different and growing
demands of their riders. In earlier days, there were no discussions about wheelset sizes, suspension travels or tyre
widths. But today, MTB pilots enjoy an almost unlimited portfolio of great possibilities. As an MTB brand right from
the start and as an alpine-crossing pioneer, CENTURION knows quite well how to interpret the perfect tour bike.
MTB riders who tour low mountain ranges or the Alps are very demanding with regard to their material – and rightly
so: Their bike must definitely be light enough for uphills, has to enable smooth pedalling and must offer reliable grip
also on steep passages. Playfulness provides fun on “flowy” trails while the downhills benefit from a high directional
stability. With our Numinis.29, we have created a bike combining all those virtues in the best possible way: Due to
the essential advantages of a big-wheeled 29er, the 100 mm fully offers superior rolling qualities. Its geometry and
kinematics satisfy all demands for an equally sensitive and drivetrain-neutral bike. In 2014, the carbon models still
convince with e. g. a 12 mm thru-axle at the rear while the aluminium variants benefit from an improved cable routing
for the rear derailleur. The equally convincing setup of the Numinis.29 includes 120 mm front suspension travel, a
double or triple chainring and generously dimensioned disc brakes – actively supported by modern features such as
direct-mount derailleurs, post-mount brakes or Pressfit bottom brackets.
