Centurion Backfire Fit Comp 50.29

The Centurion Backfire Fit Comp 50.29 from 2021 is a versatile mountain bike that is characterised by its solid construction and well thought-out equipment. The frame is made of aluminium, which gives the bike a total weight of 12 kg and yet makes it robust enough to carry a permissible total weight of 135 kg. The model is suitable for riders between 161 cm and 176 cm tall, making it a good choice for a wide target group.

The braking system of the Backfire Fit Comp 50.29 consists of TEKTRO HD-M275 brakes with TEKTRO HD-M276 brake levers, which are fitted with organic brake pads at both the front and rear. The brake discs have a diameter of 180 mm at the front and vary between 180 mm and 160 mm at the rear, depending on the wheel size. These components ensure reliable braking performance in different terrain conditions.

The SHIMANO Acera system is used for shifting, supplemented by SHIMANO SL-M315-8R shifters and a SHIMANO FD-M315-TS front derailleur, which together offer eight gears. This enables flexible adaptation to different route profiles. The drivetrain is supported by a KMC Z8.3 chain and a SHIMANO HG31 sprocket.

The bike is equipped with an SR SUNTOUR XCT ATB fork, which offers 100 mm of suspension travel to cushion uneven terrain.
