Market: The southern German manufacturer Centurion is not only one of the pioneers in the mountain bike sector in this country, but also worldwide. In 2016 the 40th birthday is coming up - this will be celebrated with a strictly limited special model of the noble cross country racer in the program: the Centurion Backfire Carbon Edition.40
The frame of the special model, which is kept in plain white, has the same inner values as the top model "Team", which is used by the TEAM CENTURION VAUDE and has already been worn by Markus Kaufmann and Co. to a number of titles. Also our blogger Lennard Heidenreich is on the road on the Centurion bike and rode it sensationally at the Zillertal Bike Challenge last year to second place.
To do justice to the happy occasion of the 40th anniversary, the Centurion Backfire Carbon Edition.40 comes with attachments of the very finest: The RS-1 upside-down suspension fork from Rock Shox provides comfort and control, which is currently the reference of what is technically possible represents in the cross country area. The drive is in no way inferior to the high-quality suspension: The electronic Shimano XTR Di2 gear system, which was introduced at the beginning of last year, gives the driver fast and precise gear changes. As befits the rank, there are also carbon wheels from DT Swiss.
The Centurion Backfire Carbon Edition.48, which weighs just 9,3km with a frame height of 40cm, is now available from Centurion specialist dealers at a fair price of €4.999.
