Category 2: Cross
CENTURION bikes of the category Cross are
designed for hard-surface terrains, i.e. for tarred
roads and bicycle lanes or gravel field tracks, sand
or dirt paths open to bicycles. The wheels remain in
permanent contact to the ground. Unintentional loss
of contact of one wheel, e.g. for riding over a curb,
is permitted.
CENTURION bikes of this category are not suitable
for mountain bike use and jumps. Some bikes of this
category have suspension elements. These serve the
purpose of improving comfort and not the capability
of cycling off-road.
In general, these are urban, city, trekking and
ATB bikes with wheel sizes of 26 or 28 inches.
Cyclo-cross bikes (bikes for cyclo-cross sport)
are in general bikes with 28-inch-wheels with nar-
row tires (28 to maximum 42 mm). The maximum
permissible additional load (rider plus baggage) is
120 kg. Under certain circumstances the maximum
permissible additional load can be further limited by
the component manufacturers’ recommendations
for use.

Due to their design and fittings,

CENTURION bikes of this category are
in general suitable for towing a trailer;
the maximum trailer load should, how-
ever, not exceed 45 kg. Half of the trailer load is
accounted for in the permissible additional load.
Always observe the maximum speed indicated
by the trailer manufacturer for the respective
ground. The trailer must be mounted exclusive-
ly with an axle-mount coupling. If it cannot be
mounted without problems due to the geome-
try of the drop-outs, do not use the model con-
cerned. Contact your CENTURION dealer.
