Highlights

USER INDICATOR
All key features and access points on the bike are illustrated via an easy-to-understand and self-explanatory guidance system.

EASY CHARGE
Charging made easy! The charging socket on CENTURION e-bikes, integrated into the top tube, is conveniently and easily accessible. With a magnetically closing cover, it is protected against dirt and the elements, thereby effectively preventing noise on uneven terrain. As well as offering practical benefits, the cover is also a real eye-catcher.

3D LOGO PLAQUE
An intricately crafted logo badge that visually highlights experience and tradition in a striking and confident manner.

DROPOUT WITH SPEED SENSOR
To ensure the design language and system integration are consistently carried through down to the smallest detail, the e-bikes’ speed sensor is integrated into the dropout. Its counterpart is discreetly positioned on the rear brake disc mount. This ensures consistent and trouble-free operation.

INTUITIVE LOCKING MECHANISM
Safety and ease of use were the focus during the development of the glass-fibre-reinforced CENTURION battery cover. With just a few simple steps, it can be removed so that the battery can be replaced or charged externally. Security screws protect against unauthorised access.

Well-designed low step-through
The extremely comfortable step-through design offers a high level of safety and makes getting on and off the bike a real pleasure. The sleek silhouette and remarkable riding stability are also impressive features. To make charging the battery as user-friendly as possible, Centurion has also positioned the charging socket high up on the frame, centrally and within easy reach.

Bosch E-MTB technology


Bosch Performance Line CX

The Performance Line CX from Bosch provides a unique eMTB experience: compact, lightweight and with more power, it combines high-quality materials, an extremely powerful drive and high-end sensor technology. This takes eMountain biking on the trail to a whole new dimension. From model year 2021, the Bosch Performance Line CX will come with a torque of up to 85 Nm, new features in the motor control and a further development of the eMTB mode - all as a software update. For a riding experience that inspires: more natural, more intuitive, more powerful and an absolute benchmark in this class.


What's new with the Bosch Performance Line CX motor in the model year?

Performance upgrade and new features
A riding experience that sets new standards: From model year 2021, the Performance Line CX will provide even more riding fun on the trail - with further developed software and a maximum torque of 85 Nm. The increased torque provides extra power, which supports you even more powerfully, especially at low cadences. This leads to noticeably faster acceleration in eMTB and turbo mode and makes starting off on steep sections much easier. Thanks to a wider cadence range, unpredictable riding situations can be mastered even better - such as when shifting gears late or accelerating out of tight bends. In cadence and turbo mode, riding remains smooth and jolt-free.

eMTB mode at the next level
The progressive riding mode for every occasion: With the enhanced eMTB mode, you are ideally equipped for all riding situations on the trail. Thanks to new sensor and motor control functions, the Performance Line CX now provides you with an even more dynamic, natural and much wider range of support. You continue to benefit from the proven technology of eMTB mode: depending on the pedal pressure, the progressive motor support adapts ideally to the riding situation. The improved tuning of the eMTB mode ensures optimum traction control in all gears and facilitates organic handling ("power on demand"). The starting behaviour is much finer and more sensitive, especially in low gears. Thanks to the increased torque, the Drive Unit supports an even wider cadence range.

Extended Boost
Extended Boost is the unrivalled function for smoothly rolling over roots, steps and stones on the trail, even uphill. The eMTB can thus be manoeuvred through technical passages much more easily and agilely. Thanks to the unique dynamics, obstacles can be overcome with ease by applying situational pressure to the pedals. There is hardly any pedal contact. The new, innovative function can be optimally controlled in eMTB mode in all riding situations. If the front wheel is already at the top of the step, a light push on the pedal is enough to give the decisive "kick". This takes pedal management to a new dimension.
