100% carbon is the claim for the brand new Koba Reamol C1. The Swiss à la carte manufacturer has invested in its own carbon frame designs and was therefore able to implement its exact ideas. The result is an enduro bike that is not only unique in terms of weight. The lightest version comes in at an extremely low 11.4 kg for this suspension travel range. Depending on the configuration, other bodies weigh between 12 and 12.5 kilograms.

The 27.5-inch fully, which is designed for 170/160 millimetres of suspension travel, has a 430 millimetre short chainstay for agile handling. With a steep seat tube angle of 74 degrees and a steering angle of 65.5 degrees, these are also very popular values. No plain bearings or the like are used for the rear triangle bearings; instead, fully spherical bearings are installed, which should be considerably more resilient and durable than conventional counterparts. Remarkable and probably almost unique for a carbon frame is the possibility to choose from numerous frame colors. As befits custom-made specialist Koba, customers can also tailor all the details, from the color of the decals to the wheelset, precisely to their intended use.

Jan Koba says about his new enduro bike: "Because enduro bikes on the market are quite heavy, the idea was born to build a super-light enduro bike that is suitable for the most difficult trails as well as bike parks. With the Reamol-C1, we were able to realize our dream with the help of various details in construction and choice of materials. Challenging trails, mountain paths and bike parks are the home of the Reamol C1. Riding this bike means pure freedom and riding fun."

The first Koba Reamol C1s are expected to reach Koba dealers at the end of March.
