Expirience with the Centurion Backfire Pro 200

Ludwig Döhl The Racebike of Centurion was designed for use in on long tours. And that's exactly where it shines. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Racebike of Centurion. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. Finally, the Centurion Hardtail still has one point to prove: compared to the competitors in the same price segment, the Centurion has significantly stronger brakes. Centurion gives 5 years warranty on the bike. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Centurion Racebike sizing runs big.
