The Kathmandu Hybrid ONE11 HPC SLX is built around a carbon front triangle and an aluminium rear triangle with an integrated rack. An air-sprung RockShox Psylo Gold RC fork and Deluxe Select+ RT shock offer ten centimetres of travel at both ends. This adds comfort and control, especially when tarmac gives way to unpaved roads. Integrated cable routing contributes to a clean look.
The equipment also focuses on comfort, control and versatility. A Bosch CX drivetrain delivers powerful assistance, powered by an 800-watt-hour battery. A Kiox 500 display keeps you informed of the essentials on the move. Twelve Shimano XT gears offer a wide range and smooth, reliable shifting. Newmen Performance 30 wheels wear grippy Schwalbe tyres for control on unpaved surfaces too. Powerful XT disc brakes provide easily modulated braking. An adjustable stem and dropper seatpost offer more ways to adapt the bike to the conditions. The ultimate touring package? Quite possibly.
