CROSSLIGHT CSIX2
OK, he's not from the KMP, but 'MTS Cycle Sport' rider Stu Wearmouth's first ride on the p.type 'Crosslight CSix2' went so well that I thought I would share his feedback with you!
Expect to see some of our KMP riders on the production bike at a race near you this winter!
"I got the ruler out set bars, seat etc and set of out with tools just in case, on first setting of the bike felt good, Position was spot on right away, no adjustment needed, I did a 2hr ride which included road, lines, sand, rocks and dry bumpy ground, and a 25% climb (off road). I was very surprised how light the bike felt, I'm not sure what the weight is but the bike is significantly lighter than my last years race bikes as it is with regular kit fitted...
I tried A few steep descents and had no fork judder at all under braking, it was difficult to find a fault, the only thing I had trouble with was the Specialized bottle cage that was fitted!"

The ride is very impressive, its responsive, stiff , and absolutely fantastic to ride over rough ground, very forgiving, very comfortable! Mud clearance is also good. At the start of the ride I was thinking this feels a good race bike, on the way back I was thinking its probably the most complete cross bike I've ever rode.
