Cyclo Cross<br />

The versatile all-rounder<br />

jack-of-all-trades [ʤæk ɒv ɔ:l treɪdz]: someone who is adored for her/his many different talents. Also in MY <strong>2014</strong>, the<br />

<strong>CENTURION</strong> Cyclo Cross still remains our “jack-of-all-trades” – quite a mix of a downright sportive character, of a general<br />

qualification for racing purposes and of an apt configuration which offers great suitability for everyday use. Thus a Cyclo<br />

Cross is much more than just a bike: Among the <strong>CENTURION</strong> lineup, it does represent the active athlete who wants to<br />

enjoy convincing propulsion also outside the training.<br />

Originally, cyclo-cross bikes were designed as winter training devices for highly motivated road racers. In later days, this<br />

innovation was refined and so became an own competitive bike discipline. That’s why cyclo-crossers and road bikes still<br />

share e. g. their sportive geometries, their wheelset sizes, their visual appearances and their typical curved road handlebars.<br />

But in the course of time, it became obvious that a cyclo-crosser can convince also beyond training and racing:<br />

Today, this bike category is contemporarily available with modern, powerful and reliable disc brakes which are not at all<br />

affected by any weather conditions, especially wet ones. All together, it offers maximum riding fun to all those cyclists<br />

who are looking for the best possible combination of speed and suitability for whatever everyday use. On all CENTURI-<br />

ON Cyclo Cross models, you can trust in sportive double drivetrains and mechanical disc brakes with low maintenance<br />

requirements. Fenders and a carrier can be installed as well.<br />
