2015 KHS SixFifty 700 Mountain Bike Review

SixFifty Team Pictured

Let the trails take you places you've never been before - or just cruise your favorite Saturday trail - on KHS' SixFifty 700. 



With a 6061 double-butted aluminum frame as the backbone, the 700 is nimble for the tech and light for the climbs. Up front, a Manitou Marvel Comp fork handles the chatter and occasional big hits so you stay in control all ride long.

Stan's provides the rolling radness with 27.5-inch wheels wrapped in Maxxis Ardent tires so you navigate rock gardens with ease and bite into the corners like a pro.

You'll need that responsiveness once the smooth SRAM X1 drivetrain gets you up to speed and provides the perfect gear for all the undulations of your day on the trail. The 700 is topped off with fine components like a Kore handlebar and stem, plus a comfy WTB Volt Comp saddle.
