Nick Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 German brand Centurion are a little known name in the South African context, but have been producing bikes since 1976. We chatted to one of their engineers about the new Numis XC, a bike specifically designed around the riding format of events like the Absa Cape Epic.Click here to view the article
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 very similar to the VIPA, aesthetically speaking.Â
Hilton. Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I count a 32 tooth 1x round chainring there. If the chainring is already chowing the swing arm / chainstay, then they obviously can't run a 34t, even if they wanted to. This makes me think that the bike wasn't designed with 1x drivetrains in mind. A boost frame design would likely help here, or a newer narrower chainstay, at least at that point?

It's just superficial, by the looks of thingsÂ
