Parkpre KL85 was born for racing and has speed in its DNA. Racing and competition are part of the Tuscan brand's history, that's undeniable, but technology and materials allow the development and production of bikes that, on the one hand, don't sacrifice the company's core, on the other, appeal to a wide audience. The new KL85 was born with precisely this intent: racing, yes, but without exaggeration.

We are pleased to describe one of the latest Parkpre creations. The Tuscan company consistently offers sophisticated bicycles, not only in terms of design, materials, and components, but also in terms of customization. Their bikes exude passion.

KL85 is the new entry in the Parkpre price list, an aerodynamic bike that was created for a competitive audience, but does not present excesses and falls into a range of lightweight bikesIt's a combination of deliberate and carefully considered factors, designed to broaden the interest. From competitive athletes with diverse interpretations, from the fastest to those who love climbing, all the way to those who ride and train, but are far from competing.

The fiber used is T800 and UD matrix, with the carbon skins specifically oriented during installationThe goal is to obtain the best compromise between value on the scale, rigidity, design of each individual tube and comfort, the latter not sacrificed at all. Le 6 sizes available, starting from xs, up to xl.

The same geometries highlight a single value common to all sizes, that is, the length of the rear seat stay: 40,8 cmThe reach and stack detail, as well as the length of the steering profile, show a compact and short bike, rather low towards the front confirming a racing vocation that is part of Parkpre's DNA.
