The "urban bike" concept, not a cross bike

Prioritizing "daily comfort" over speed
Unlike cross bikes, which are an extension of sports bikes, the KENTFIELD is designed for comfortable urban travel. It features a design that caters to daily scenarios such as daily trips and coffee rides.

Upright and stable frame design

A relaxed riding position
The longer head tube and low-center-of-gravity geometry naturally lead to a relaxed, upright riding posture. It also offers high straight-line stability, providing a comfortable, flowing ride in the city.

Simple and easy-to-use city-oriented specifications

Practical configuration for casual use
Simple 1x7 speed gears, mechanical disc brakes, and wide 700x40C tires. The focus is on ease of use and safety, rather than a competition of specs.

A bike that makes for "just right travel"

The KENTFIELD 1 is not a model that aims for the speed of a cross bike. Instead, it offers a well-balanced design that makes urban travel effortless and enjoyable.

A relaxed riding position, stable handling, and a simple, easy-to-use configuration. When considered as a bicycle for everyday life, this "just right" quality is its greatest appeal.
