You sit high up on Centurion's Numinis. A seating position that the comfort-orientated touring rider will appreciate.

The latter will also like the comfortable suspension, the uncomplicated handling and the smooth downhill ride. The Numinis is less suitable for the sporty rider who is travelling on steep, alpine terrain: long head tube, curved handlebars - even without the mighty spacer tower, the front end is very high. This means that the front wheel rises early on climbs - and the long stem does nothing to change this. On the contrary: a shorter stem and a straighter handlebar would give the bike a sportier feel - and that would be worth it: the cheapest bike in the test field would have more potential.


CONCLUSIONRelaxed cruiser that only feels comfortable on moderate terrain due to the high front.

  Centurion : For some racers, the fork lockout is an important feature. On an e-mountainbike, it makes little sense to deactivate the suspension function. What's more, there are already enough cables hanging from the handlebars without the lockout.Photo: Markus Greber Centurion : For some racers, the fork lockout is an important feature.
