The Central 1 is a premium-level bike designed for anyone who is a dirt jumper but wants a more all- round bike than the Metropolis. The rear derailleur and 100mm fork open up more options. The Central is built around a beautiful full-cromoly frame with the same geometry as the Suburban 26” – this means enough barspin clearance and perfect riding position for bigger wheels. The 2009 Central 1 additionally receives a whole bunch of new high end parts.
