KHS passion for precision engineering and design presents you their advanced technology of materials with this trail frame
Manitou Mattoc Comp, Air, 27.5+
Mattoc is the performance benchmark for mountain bikers and for good reason: Unparalleled adjustability, supreme damping performance, and Manitous renowned reliability. Low-friction dust seals improve small bump sensitivity, IRT air spring adjustability creates a plush beginning stroke with excellent mid-stroke support, and a new Comp-level performance package brings Mattoc performance to more riders.
WTB SCRAPER
As light as carbon and wider than the aluminum competition.
It started it all and was the first to deliver legendary tubeless technology to the plus-size market. Why have a large 2.8-3.0” tire if you can’t experience a lovely tubeless ride?
Experience TCS euphoria with the Scraper rim, and understand what this plus-size grinning is all about.
SHIMANO COMPONENTS
Optimized for steep climbs to fast descents.
Designed around the concept of performance and leisure, these shimano components expands the versatility and fun to be found at multiple levels of trail, trekking and off-road riding.
The 6500+ with the Manitou Mattoc Comp, Air, 27.5+ gives a solid and reliable basis for competitive racing or fun on any terrain.
The Shimano SLX, SL-M7000 11-speed gears gets you up any incline while the powerful Shimano MT500 brake disc gives you plenty of braking power on ridiculous steep declines.
The elegant Kore Durox has wide 780mm bars and a short stem for high-speed control. The WTB Scraper wheels are loyal on rough trails and the Kind Shock E30i seatpost provides the freedom of movement you need.
With 140mm of travel on 27.5-inch wheels, the 6500 continually rides the sharp edge between agility and stability. Ideal for negotiating technical sketchy runs one moment and fast flowing terrain the next,
The combination of Maxxis Rekon Plus tires with the Formula TD711 S/B Disc hubs, will have you gliding down the craziest terrain while climbing up steep inclines with all the traction you need.
This bike has proved itself time after time on the trails. The components by themselves are more than worthy to just consider this as a trail bike. If your looking to ride the most technical trails and plan to do some crazy jumps and land with ease then this would be the bike.
The 140 mm of travel makes climbing with ease while the 6500+ descents glides gloriously with the FSA Gamma Pro drivechain and the Shimano MT500 Hydraulic Disc brakes.
