KARATE MONKEY

COMPLETE BIKE £999

You’d be hard pressed to find a better riding, more durable, and more versatile 29er. Although even now in many places 29ers are still considered oddball, suspect, or downright alien, many people believe 29ers to be the best tool in the kit for riding singletrack, gravel, and a lot of other offroad conditions. Big wheels deliver greater traction than their 26" counterparts, they offer a better ground approach angle, which helps make uneven terrain more easily rideable, they hold inertia well, and they generally fit taller riders better than 26" bikes. The Karate Monkey’s been around for a while. It didn’t create the 29er category, but it helped bring it to the masses and set the standard for what a 29er could be.
