Centurion Backfire Carbon 3000 Review
Ludwig Döhl
Fun is the name of the game when you ride the Racebike of Centurion on long tours. We really liked the jaw-dropping weight of the complete bike. With 9,6 kg, the Centurion Hardtail is a real lightweight. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Centurion Racebike is a very balanced customer. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. Anyway: In the uphill, the Centurion Racebike lets the competitors look outdated. With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Centurion Backfire Carbon 3000 sizing runs big.
