Overview
About this bike
Velvet isn't a very tough name for KHS' freeride bike, but it's a great way to describe how smoothly it handles even the most heinous lines. Feel free to launch that huge gap; the Velvet's KHS 4-bar-linkage rear suspension gives you 152mm of travel and Marzocchi provides another 160mm up front for pillow-soft landings. Plus, the burly TruVativ Hussefelt cranks set the rugged WTB wheels in motion while the reliable SRAM and Shimano components ensure you never miss a shift. And, the massive Hayes hydraulic discs stand at the ready to give you confidence on any trail.
