hi all just wanted to ask if anyone new much abt my bike I bought it back in the early 90s and its been through a lot , but still in good shape , I cant seem to find much info or pics of this bike anywhere , are they rare or sort after ?

any info would be great ,

Obviously a non-American model, as WSI never marketed ATBs under the Centurion brand in the USA. THe V-brakes, if OEM would put it no earlier than 1996

ok very cool , yes it would have been mid 90s I bought it from a small bike shop in Capalaba in Brisbane .. was the only dual shock bike they had at the time and it was up on the wall so nobody could touch it , lol was pretty cool back in the day ,

Assuming you aren't trolling...

That is a low end mountain bike. Very similar suspension design and equipment to the ubiquitious Walmart mountain bikes we have here in the states. They are usually about $160 USD new. https://www.walmart.com/ip/26-Titan-...urple/49843898

wow ok , all i can say is i bought it it in mid 90s for around $900 so I figured it wasn't a cheap bike , the shop had it up on the wall so u couldn't touch it , I thought it was pretty unique to have dual shocks in those days.. and yes it was in Australia ..

I'm no mountain bike expert but I wouldn't be so quick to write this one off as a Walmart level bike. Mid-90s dual suspension bikes had similar design and rear suspension setups. Gary Fisher Joshua comes to mind.

Tough picture, but OPs bike looks to have a couple of details like a rear derailleur hanger and quick release hubs that differentiate it from the Walmart bike. That said, the fork looks a little low end but again, I'm no expert. I'd investigate further before dismissing as low end bike.

I doubt that's a big box bike. Looks like Shimano STX drivetrain. There was a definite push to get full suspension down into an affordable range in the mid-90s, which was usually done by equipping the bikes with the lowest acceptable-quality group (like STX) and a fork & shock with simple adjustments, usually just preload.

Definately not a Dept store bike, Centurion was a Bike Shop bike. Although the suspension setup is similiar to the walmart bikes of today, remember back in the mid 90's that was a pretty common design.

Centurion was still going over in Australia, so since you bought in Brisbane it matches there. There seems to be a strong group on a Australian Forum on Centurions, I would recommend seeing if these guys have some info for you.

As T-Mar stated in the US Centurion never marketed MTB's they were sold under their other brand the Diamond Back. and the Centurion name was dropped in 1990 and the road bikes became Diamond Backs.
