Expirience with the Centurion Backfire Pro 600

Ludwig Döhl Aabove all, the Centurion Backfire Pro 600 just feels great. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Centurion Racebike is a very balanced customer. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Centurion Hardtail suite the taste of most bikers. And finally, we need to emphasize, that Centurion installed better wheels at a price of 1149 Euro than the competition. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Centurion Hardtail sizing runs big.
