Expirience with the Centurion Backfire Fit Comp 50

Ludwig Döhl You are mainly using it for on sporty excursions? Then throw the Centurion Backfire Fit Comp 50 onto your favorites list. With 14,3 kg weight for the complete bike, the Centurion Backfire Fit Comp 50 joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 800 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. With its balanced handling, riding the Backfire Fit Comp 50 feels really intuitive. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Centurion Hardtail, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. And finally, we need to emphasize, that Centurion installed better wheels at a price of 629 Euro than the competition. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Centurion sets the bar high! Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs big.
