Centurion Overdrive City Z1000 EQ

The 2020 Centurion Overdrive City Z1000 EQ is a versatile e-bike designed for both urban riding and longer tours. Priced at EUR 3,749, it offers high-quality components and well-thought-out features. The frame is made from Overdrive Z aluminium, which gives the bike stability and durability, whilst the maximum load capacity of 135 kg ensures high load-bearing capacity. The bike itself weighs 17 kg, which is quite reasonable for an e-bike in this class.

The braking system comprises TEKTRO HD-R310 disc brakes, which ensure reliable braking performance. The derailleurs and shift levers are from SRAM APEX and, with 11 gears, offer a wide range of gear ratios for various riding conditions. The CENTURION CARBON road/gravel fork helps to reduce the overall weight whilst also providing good suspension on uneven roads.

For road safety, the bike is fitted with the LEZYNE Hecto E65 front light and the LEZYNE Super Bright rear light. The VP-993 pedals and the PROCRAFT Comp FZA crankset round off the high-quality spec. Power is transmitted via a SRAM PC-1110 chain in combination with a SHIMANO SLX sprocket, ensuring efficient power transfer.

The handlebar setup comprises the PROCRAFT Flat Pro handlebars and PROCRAFT Retro II grips, which, together with the PROCRAFT Pro+ II stem, enable a comfortable and ergonomic riding position. The tyres are SCHWALBE Road Cruiser in size 42-622, fitted to PROCRAFT Altitude GD30 rims and renowned for their smooth rolling characteristics and puncture resistance.

The e-bike’s drive system is powered by the FAZUA evation 2.0 drive pack, which is equipped with a 250Wh battery. This combination offers balanced assistance for the rider without compromising the riding feel of a classic bicycle. The PROCRAFT Retro II saddle and the PROCRAFT Pro Off. Light seatpost contribute to comfort on longer rides.

Additional features such as the HEBIE mudguards, the CENTURION Racktime Commute 28" luggage rack and the PROCRAFT Kick II kickstand make the Overdrive City Z1000 EQ a practical everyday companion. With a seat tube length of 480 mm and a top tube length of 536 mm, the bike is suitable for a wide range of riders. The 70-degree head tube angle and 430 mm chainstay length ensure balanced handling that offers both stability and agility.
