It was certainly the inspiration for this bike. If you're heading out on your own adventure, you could do a lot worse than begin with our Kathmandu Pro. Designed with comfort, practicality and durability in mind, it's got everything you need to get you and your essential kit from A to B via C. The Integrated Carrier 2.0 luggage rack is a particularly neat feature. Elegantly incorporated into the frame design, it's one of the lightest and strongest carriers out there, with a seamlessly integrated rear light and easily replaceable wear components. Combined with the full-length mudguards, kickstand and hub dynamo-powered lighting system, it means you're all set for wherever adventure leads you. The easily adjustable Suntour air suspension fork takes the sting out of rough roads, smooth 3x10 Shimano Deore gears make light work of even the steepest of hills, and powerful hydraulic disc brakes ensure you're always in complete control. We've sweated all the details, so you don't have to. Because, after all, every adventure starts with a single pedal stroke...
You can't broaden the mind if you're not comfortable. That's why the Kathmandu is built with our renowned Efficient Comfort Geometry, which puts you in the optimum position for the best blend of comfort and performance - mile after mile after mile. Lightweight double-butted tubing saves weight where possible and maintains stiffness and strength where needed, so the Kathmandu remains stable and predictable on any road, and carrying any load. Speaking of which, our engineers are particularly proud of the IC 2.0 luggage carrier, which combines sleek looks with exceptional strength, rigidity and ease of use. And neat touches like cables routed inside the down tube and a kickstand mounted directly to the rear dropout mean you can be assured we've thought of everything. Just don't forget to pack your toothbrush...
