HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR KALKHOFF
With all the different models and frameshapes finding the right bike can be overwhelming.
If we break their range down to four simple steps, figuring the range out is much simpler..
STEP ONE
What is your prefered style of frame? Kalkhoff come in three options:
DIAMOND (CROSSBAR)
Crossbar or 'Diamond'frame for people who are mobile enough to swing you leg over. These frames are traditionally better at carrying more equipment due to more frame space and are also considered stronger (although all Kalkhoff frames are tested beyond practical realms).
TRAPEZE (LOW CROSSBAR)
'Trapeze' or low step frames are great for any rider with a shorter leg, these allow you to have the correct size frame with doing yourself an injustice everytime you stop at traffic lights.
WAVE (STEP THROUGH)
Step through or 'Wave' style frames are perfect for carrying baby seats or helping with mobility issues. These are perfect for those who want something they dont need to swing their leg over. Suiatble for Men and Women.
STEP 2
Although all of the Kalkhoff range are very capable, they offer three ranges which helps you dial into what type of rider you are, so you can find right equipment for the task at hand. Nothing catastrophic will come from picking say an 'Image' and wanting to ride a woodland cycle trail, only that the 'Entice' would make that environment a little easier and more comfortable and vice versa.
