The Kiaro bike by Simplon is now available in new colours. The bike combines performance and comfort for an accessible price. The carbon frame offers both stiffness and targeted flex for long rides. And enough storage space to avoid overstuffed jersey pockets.  And although Simplon offers a specific gravel bike as well, the tire clearance of the new Kiaro is an impressive 38 mm, so you are well prepared for sudden road works. The raptor dropouts look great and makes the fork absorb impact even better. The size of the chain stays varies with the frame size, so you experience a stable ride no matter what size you ride.

More performance-oriented riders will go for the Pavo, but the Kiaro is a sensible buy with a good price-quality ratio.

The Simplon Karo Ultegra Di2, 2x 12 speed version comes with a Mavic Cosmic S42 wheelset, carbon handlebar and seat post,  and weighs about 8.3 kg.

Price*: € 5.499
