Cyclo Cross racing might be the most exhausting bike discipline: On muddy fields, ice and snow as well as during continuous rainfall, the athletes often reach their absolute limit. In addition, they have to perform tactically and must demonstrate superior riding skills on slim tires. Of course this also challenges the cross machines which are shouldered respectively carried over long distances. Therefore they have to be as light-weight as possible – also due to the fact that they often “collect” kilos of dirt before a change happens in the next depot. Such bikes have to survive the toughest of all sprints while their steering precision must be as high as possible. Thus also developers of Cyclo Cross bikes have to fulfil important objectives.

In this regard, CENTURION is especially dedicated: Cyclo Cross once was the discipline of our CEO Wolfgang Renner who even cycled successfully in the international top rankings back then. That’s why we offer two swift aluminium crossers as well as a state-of-the-art carbon frame kit which can be complemented according to an athlete’s individual demands. The brake cables hide elegantly in a covered top tube tunnel. The fork delights with outstanding stiffness and a clever construction concept that reduces the characteristic “stuttering” of cantilever brakes. And depending on configuration, the weight can be trimmed easily below 8 kg. Therefore we have deliberately omitted the disc brake option which is allowed by official UCI standards now – absolutely “grounded”, so to speak.
