Kuota K-Factor SL Triathlon Bike 2008

Next in line for the King of the Klock is the K-FACTOR SL. Kuota produced this Monocoque missle to add to an impressive line up. Stand out features include a taller head tube for riders needing that fit to perform at their max. A 12k weave makes for a fantastic bold look and that’s the top layer above Kuota’s consistent offering of differential lamination to maximize available performance. This frame is also an outstanding value, allowing a larger group of people the ability to have a focused weapon for TT and Triathlon.

The K-Factor SL is a step above the K-Factor by featuring a fully aerodynamic seatpost and seattube, fully internal cable routing for better aerodynamics, and a beefier bottom bracket for better power transfer.
