CENTURION Bikes 2014 - english version

Enduro
Trailbanger
The omnipotent fun rocket
pow·er pack [paʊəʳ pæk]: machine, device etc with great power, especially a fast motor vehicle with powerful engine.
No – also in MY 2014, our Trailbanger does not need the support of a motor. But nevertheless, the 160 mm fully
does remain the “power pack” among the CENTURION bikes. Since its successful market launch, our bike for really
tough purposes has demonstrated and proved impressively that Enduro is increasingly and rightly interpreted as an
MTB category which does not exclusively focus on downhill riding any more.
Of course, also our 2014 Trailbanger is primarily a bike which convinces especially with its downhill performance –
thanks to mighty 170 mm travel at the front* and 160 mm at the rear section which absorbs any surface bumps quite
effectively. As a well-engineered quad-pivot construction with “Virtual Pivot Point” (VPP), the chassis utilizes the
available suspension travel optimally while remaining very sensitive and free of brake influences. At the same time, it
convinces the Enduro rider with superb pedalling: Even with an unlocked shock, the bobbing tendencies remain minimal.
Thus our Trailbanger is equally suitable for technically most challenging trails as well as for bike-park adventures.
New for 2014 is the optimized cable routing for the rear derailleur. Furthermore, there are well-proven configuration
elements such as thru-axles (front / rear 20 / 12 mm), a large-dimensioned braking system or a lowerable seatpost.
And with a low weight just over 14 kg**, our Trailbanger underlines its ambition to prevent its pilot virtually from sweating
also on the counter slope.
