From zipping across town to tackling mountain passes you've never ridden before, the Kathmandu EXC is designed to get you there – and back – in comfort and style. We chose Shimano's 3x10 XT gears for their deserved reputation for reliability and ease of use. Then we added powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, so you know you're in full control at all times. Finally, we selected an easily adjustable Suntour air suspension fork to take the edge off rough road surfaces. With our Integrated Carrier 3.0 and a full complement of accessories – including mudguards, kickstand and lights – you've everything you need. Just jump on and go...

Frame description
We've taken everything that's good about the Kathmandu and made it even better. So, for example, the reworked Integrated Carrier 3.0 is designed to work seamlessly with our Acid mudguard. We've fitted a flat mount for the rear disc brake – it also accommodates the kickstand – and used Smooth Welding to give the frame joints a tidy, organic appearance. But it's not all about looks. We also equipped the rear end with a thru axle and added a tapered head tube for improved rigidity and steering precision, even when fully laden. With internal cable routing to keep your gear shifts smooth with minimal maintenance, we reckon we've thought of everything. Just don't forget your toothbrush...
