Bike Review - Kuota Kharma Carbon Road Race

Not everyone has the money to buy the Tour de France miracle machines on the market. More people to look good value in a high-performance carbon road bike. Here the bike like Kuota Kharma Race are available in many of the features of high-end models priced much more modest. Four years ago, a painting like this would have been $ 6,000 on a bike. Now the bike is less than half.

The race will be available as Kharma build a complete bike or framesetas you like. The wheels are equipped with Shimano 105 or Ultegra or SRAM Rival available. I tried the bike with rivals. During a review of the group for another article, it works fine. The movements are quick and precise feel with a lever.

The heart of every bike is the frame and that has a heart for the race Kharma. The trajectory of the fall of the upper tube draws attention to the Aero-seat cluster. All pipes merge. Unusually for a bike of this price category are the frame tubesaerodynamically optimized to help you cut through the wind. This includes a section on the back of the seat tube and a seat-shaped airfoil positions. As air resistance accounts for about 90 percent of the resistance when driving on level ground, every little bit helps. The fit is a bit 'more relaxed than it is formed over the brothers, with a tube slightly shorter for a given size of all pipes are to give a good balance of aerodynamics, stiffness and weight. And the Italian asThe design is a clear reflection that certainly can not see a lot of big brands. They stand out for the race on a local group Kuota Kharma, since they are not the standard cookie cutter bike.

But this is only the construction. The ride quality is the real star of the show. When I used to think that this is a top of the frame were found in a few years ago I was not exaggerating. I used to ride the Orbea Orca and that is what this bike reminds me. Stiff, but not hard. Light and. Answering 's fast, but not nervous. Very good with a good way to feel balanced. If you jump out of the saddle to sprint or climb a hill, the force is pushed to the rear wheel. This does not seem a cycling starter carbon society. If you bet on a series of racing on wheels, you can contest a run or race, you have the legs.

The kit comes with the bike is built with solid Deda bar and stem, Selle San Marco Ponza saddle, and Shimano R-500 wheels. YouYou may need to share the cockpit as the measure of this exchange is not for everyone, but is common with a bicycle. The only area suggests the upgrade if race or just the speed, the wheels. The wheels are Shimano as a training wheel in order, but either are not smart enough to run or wheel Aero. If you have not ridden deep carbon rimmed wheels and then you will not find a problem.

The race Kharma fits my criteria for a motion of the working class. It 's easy, buthard. Good value for much beyond the price tag.
