Overview
About this bike
Velvet isn't a very tough name for KHS's freeride bike, but it's a great way to describe how smoothly it handles even the most heinous lines. Feel free to charge that nasty line; the Velvet's 4-bar-linkage rear suspension gives you a full 6-inches of travel and RockShox provides another 6-inches up front for a velvety smooth ride. Plus, the burly TruVativ cranks set the rugged WTB wheels in motion while the reliable SRAM components ensure you never miss a shift. And, the strong Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic discs stand at the ready to give you confidence on any trail.
