Centurion should have patented the geometry: In the test in the February issue, another test bike with an identical frame impressed with its sporty riding position and stoic smoothness. Once again, the bike gives the impression that you can control it with your little finger in any situation. The deep blue paintwork is just as appealing as the colour-coordinated components. With Tiagra, "WH-RS10" wheels from Shimano and Procraft add-on parts, there is hardly any reason to complain, only the Maxxis clincher tyres are clearly inferior. The thickly padded saddle made an irritating noise during the ride.
ConclusionFresh-looking racer with sporty ambitions and exceptionally good-natured handling.
