Cross-Country

The Backfire is the basis of the very first MTB ever developed - a mark achieved by Centurion in Germany over 3 decades ago. At Centurion, the Backfire range is regarded as the genuine embodiment of the mountain bike – outdoor riding exhilaration combining simplicity, performance and technical safety. Born from a tried and tested outdoor classic, the Backfire benefits from technologically advanced frame design, and top quality componentry.

 

 A combination of shorter top tube and slightly flatter seat tube reduces the distance between saddle and handlebar, leaving the rider in a more upright and relaxed position over longer distances. 100mm travel in the front suspension means the Backfire can negotiate rough terrain with relative comfort and ease, allowing you confidence to take on the trail.
