ROAD RACE: Need for Speed
Passionate road racers are fascinated by the unbelievable easiness of their two-wheeled vehicle. There is no other bike being more agile or accelerating faster. Great distances can be absolved with minimum expenditure of energy. Good road bikes act as direct extensions of sinews and muscles, representing an ultimate need for speed.

Strong-willed road athletes demand adequate tools to transform their stamina into pedal power: Sophisticated lightweights featuring the finest components – plain in visual appearance, but reliable in every race situation.

As a matter of course, CENTURION is aware of this. Our first road bikes were produced long before the MTB’s introduction. Experience causes us not to aim strictly at the lightest of all racing machines. Instead, we favour a compromise compassing stability, reliability, safety and the wonderful “easiness of being”. Depending on the respective size of its beautiful carbon frame, our GIGADRIVE 4000 has an overall weight of about 8 kg.

We consider road racers as individualists. For equipment purists, our modular construction system could be an ideal solution – enabling them to compose and enjoy their own personal CENTURION.
