Kobble 2018

Kobble, the new gravel bike by Kuota, designed for cyclists who long for adventures beyond all frontiers. This is the bike for all types of terrain. The frame of the Kobble, both in the front and in the rear triangle, features a unique lateral stiffness and an excellent vertical absorption of vibrations from the ground.  A bike that really meets the needs of all those cyclists who love to tackle the long distances of bike marathons, and yet challenge themselves in aggressive cyclocross-style races.

High safety levels are ensured by the presence of disc brakes: the front can accommodate rotors up to 180mm while in the rear they can be up to 160mm. Enough to dissipate the heat that builds up when the descents are long and steep or when the bike is loaded with bags and trailer.

It is also possible to fit a dropper post (with an extra cable for adjustments) and so to make the bike a real weapon for technical descents: a drop in between 100 and 120 mm can really improve the control over the machine when the terrain becomes truly tricky.

Fork: as for the frame, the fork boasts great lateral stiffness that grants top control in the handling of the bike and during acceleration. The comfort remains at the utmost levels even on rough terrains.

It should be noted that all cables are internally routed. The frame is equipped with a new bolt-through axle that makes installing the wheel quick, secure and hassle-free.  Kobble can be built with 29” MTB rims or, for long endurance training sessions, with road bike rims and tyres up to 44 mm. The bikes can only be equipped with 1X groupsets.
