Weight: (910 + 380gms (medium)
Compatible with Shimano Di2, Campag EPS or any standard mechanical gear system.

The Kuota K-Uno is the brand’s flagship endurance bike using a similar carbon layup to the top of the range performance bike, the Kutoa Khan. The K-Uno has a slightly taller front end (head tube) and slightly shorter top tube which helps make the bike more comfortable for riders who want to sit slightly more up right and makes the bike less ‘twitchy’.

It is, says Kuota UK’s head man Dave Williams, a bike ideal for endurance road racing and sportives and the K-Uno is also super light and available in seven sizes. The 1-1/8″ to 1-1/2″ integrated headset system with angular contact bearings gives stable steering and perfect control.

Seat Stays – These unique looking seat stays aid lateral rigidity as as well as comfort. The rear triangle, in particular, grants an extraordinary torsional stiffness so as to avoid power dispersion during pedal strokes. A quality reinforced by the bottom bracket shell, which now mounts the standard BB386 as does the whole Kuota range.

Compatible with Shimano Di2, Campag EPS or any standard mechanical gear system. Customers can choose – Handlebar, Stem, Cassette size, Chainset ratio, Crank arm length, Gender specific saddle, Bar tape colour, and Tyre width from a variety of available options at no extra cost (see the spec sheet for options)

Front fork has been designed following the same concept as the K-Uno frame. It has been shaped to be stiff laterally, to give excellent steering and to reduce vertical vibrations. The forkend has changed insertion angle. As a result, the whole structure is extremely stiff and at the same time very light.
