CENTURION Bikes 2014 - english version

27.5 All Mountain
No Pogo.27
The timeless classic
wealth of ex·peri·ence [welθ ɒv ɪk’spɪəriən(t)s]: the total of all experiences someone has made and has at her/
his disposal. For a long time, MTBs had neither front nor rear suspension systems. But even with the appearance
of front suspension forks, the chassis was by no means complete. The problem: The so-called “pogo” (annoying,
permanent deflection during pedalling) of MTBs with additional rear suspension was so unfavourable that bikers did
not care about the advantages of the system. But with the “No Pogo” concept, CENTURION as the first German
manufacturer finally created a really working kinematics in the 1990s.
Since those days, the No Pogo has been an inherent part of the CENTURION product portfolio. Nevertheless, our
timeless classic has been refined again and again. For Season 2014, our R&D experts have created another new and
great generation – this time with 27.5” tyres which are the basis for several exciting highlights. A large suspension
travel (front / rear 150 / 145 mm) and torsion-resistant, easily operable thru-axle concepts (front / rear 15 / 12 mm)
make our 2014 No Pogo a genuine downhill fun device. But at the same time, the supported single-pivot construction
offers a best possible pedalling performance. Thus the character of the current No Pogo still remembers its roots.
As a result, the 2014 version does present itself as an All-Mountain fully convincing especially during tours with high
technical demand. The modern interpretation of our timeless classic is also underlined by (mostly) internal cable routing,
a lowerable seatpost and the choice between a double or a triple chainring.
