Expirience with the Centurion Backfire Carbon Team

Ludwig Döhl The 100 mm fork travel helps you master the on sporty excursions. Here, the Centurion Backfire Carbon Team really plays to it´s strengths. We really liked the jaw-dropping weight of the complete bike. With 8,9 kg, the Backfire Carbon Team is a real lightweight. With its balanced handling, riding the Centurion Backfire Carbon Team feels really intuitive. At the seating position, Centurion combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. And finally, we need to emphasize, that Centurion installed better wheels at a price of 6049 Euro than the competition. Centurion gives 5 years warranty on the bike. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Racebike of Centurion sizing runs big.
