Kilo 2011
Kilo Concept
As the name implies, our main goal is to do intelligent light weight design without reducing function or stiffness.
So the new models 2011 of our well used german:A - Kilo fork is another evolutionary step towards a perfect system. Wherever excellent functionality combined with a low weight are of highest interest a Kilo fork from german:A provides a strong and yet light weighted helper. Of course such a system ships with many advantages for success in race competitions, where every percent of functionality and every gram might be the difference between losing and winning, but actually all mountain bike concepts and application areas can benefit from this.
For our CFK high performance model “Kilo no.1+”, evolution to version 2011 brought another reduction of weight. Kilo no.1+ now only weights 1.098 gram. Even though the weight was reduced, “Kilo no.1+” version 2011 increases safety just as well. However, the aluminum model also decreased weight with version 2011 as a result of new manufacturing technologies and the new shock “Air-force Kilo”. Now it only weights 1.246 gram. Both designs provide specifications, which apply another standard for their competitors.
Which model of the 2011 Kilo you chose is only your decision, but in any way you will join the group of “Kilo-riders”, who feel the supremacy and the light weight of their suspension fork on every single ride, while knowing to be equipped with the top of technology today.
Every Kilo is available in 29" version.
