KHS Flite 280

Road Speed. Accessible Performance.

The KHS Flite 280 is built on a lightweight double-butted 6061 aluminum frame, giving you the "snap" and acceleration needed to keep up on group rides or shave minutes off your commute. By utilizing a carbon-fiber fork (a rarity at this pricepoint), KHS ensures that road vibrations are absorbed before they reach your hands, providing a smooth, high-end ride quality usually reserved for much more expensive bikes.

Why the Flite 280 is the Smart Entry into Road Cycling:

• Lightweight Alloy Frame: The custom-formed 6061 aluminum tubing is designed for high strength-to-weight performance, making it easy to carry up stairs or power up local climbs.

• Vibration-Damping Carbon Fork: The KHS Carbon Road fork significantly reduces "road buzz," resulting in less hand fatigue and improved steering precision during high-speed descents.

• Shimano 16Speed Drivetrain: Featuring reliable Shimano Claris components, this 2x8 system provides a wide gear range. Whether you’re tackling steep hills or sprinting on the flats, you’ll always find the right cadence.

• Dual-Pivot Caliper Brakes: Classic road rim brakes offer a lightweight, easy-to-maintain stopping solution with a progressive feel and plenty of power for urban or rural riding.

• Performance Alloy Wheelset: Built with double-wall alloy rims and quick-release hubs, these wheels are designed to be durable enough for city streets while remaining light enough for weekend sportives.

• Endurance Geometry: Designed with a slightly taller headtube, the Flite 280 puts you in a "sporty yet comfortable" position, ideal for building your fitness and confidence on the road.
