Heading to the ends of the earth, or just to the edge of the map? You'll want a bike you can rely on, then. The Kathmandu Exc will get you there and back in comfort and style. The frame features our exclusive, new-for-2018 IC integrated luggage rack - sleek, versatile and unbelievably stiff and strong. For the transmission we selected Shimano's incredibly reliable and slick-shifting Deore and XT components. Hydraulic disc brakes have all the power you need to stop in any weather conditions, and we even remembered to fit mudguards and lights. Combined with the smooth, easily adjustable SR Suntour air suspension fork, it's all you need for adventures both far and wide.

You can't broaden the mind if you're not comfortable. That's why the Kathmandu Exc 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 Exc remains stable and predictable on any road, and carrying any load. Speaking of which, our engineers completely redesigned the IC luggage carrier for even sleeker looks, better versatility and easier use. And neat touches like internal cable routing 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...
