The "long-ride oriented FARNA" is a thing of the past. The 2026 model is completely different.

The 2026 KhodaaBloom FARNA is a bike that completely overturns the previous impression of a "comfortable endurance road bike." With significantly enhanced acceleration and responsiveness, it has evolved into a "versatile road bike" that can naturally handle everything from city riding to long rides and sporty performance.

This article summarizes the differences from the old model, its completeness as a first road bike, and FARNA's unique and exquisite positioning, based on test ride impressions from an exhibition. This model is especially recommended for those who "want to start road biking but aren't yet sure what direction suits them."

The new FARNA is no longer "long-ride specific."

Character itself has been refreshed

The previous FARNA was strongly perceived as a mellow endurance road bike for long rides.

However, the 2026 model has significantly improved acceleration and responsiveness. It also allows for an easier forward-leaning posture, greatly enhancing the "joy of light riding."

Yet, it's not overly race-oriented, and it retains ease of handling, allowing it to be adjusted to a more upright position, which is a key point.

A reliable configuration for a first road bike

The reassurance of a "proper entry-level road bike"

The component set features Shimano Claris (2x8 speed). This configuration is perfectly enjoyable for everything from daily use to weekend rides.

What's particularly impressive is that the brakes and crank are also unified with Claris. In the same price range, it's not uncommon to see non-branded parts mixed in to cut costs.

It's clear that it's designed with "long-term, reliable use" in mind, while keeping the price down.

What I felt during the test ride was "its completeness as a first bike."

A bike that suits even those whose direction isn't yet decided

What I actually felt during the test ride was that it has become "a road bike that is understandably pleasant for anyone."

It has a light start and straightforward acceleration. Yet, it's not overly sensitive, striking a balance that makes it easy to get along with as a first road bike.

The greatest appeal of the new FARNA is its deep versatility, capable of accommodating even vague desires like "I want to ride fast," "I want to do long rides," or "I want to customize it."

If you're unsure about your "first road bike," this is a strong contender.

The 2026 FARNA model transcends the conventional endurance road bike category, evolving into a versatile road bike that caters to "those who want to enjoy road biking."

Light riding, an easy-to-handle position, a reliable Shimano configuration, and the flexibility to adjust its direction according to future preferences. The essential elements for a first bike are integrated in a very natural balance.

If you're in a state of "not yet knowing what kind of riding you want to do," the FARNA will surely teach you the joy of road biking.
