Although new to Torpedo7, KHS Bikes have been around since 1974 making great performing, great value bikes. This is the XC604, a true trail weapon with 120mm travel Horst Linkage frame, and lightweight air adjustable 130mm travel Manitou forks. This bike is just at home on the race circuit as it is on your local bike park. With ample suspension travel, powerful brakes and a comfortable yet aggressive riding position, this bike will truly take you anywhere you want to go.

Popular international mountain bike magazine ’Mountain Bike Action’ had this to say about the 2011 KHS XC604: "Pedalled, climbed and descended like a bike almost twice its price" - and has also received rave reviews from UK magazine Mountain Biking UK.

Boasting an impressive array of big brand components and Shimano’s new 10-Speed gearing, we are confident that you won’t get better value anywhere else on a 2011 Cross Country bike. Sharing the same frame as it’s little brother - the XC204, that’s pretty much where the similarities end.
