Fast Times at KHS Bicycles

THe Cytomax/KHS race has been valuable testing resource for the development of our new KHS sixfifty606 model bicycle. But going fast on the trail is not the only speed Chuck Jenkins and his “650 Crew” get to enjoy.
The “650 Crew” serve the U.S. Navy helicoptor squadron. So going fast is a way of life. The Cytomax/KHS team has been testing the 650b bicycle for quite a few months and have provided valuable info for models for 2011.

Here is the KHS sixfifty606 test to appear in the August 22010 issue of Mountain Bike Action.
MBA had tested 3 KHS models with 3 different wheels sizes (26″, 27.5″/650b and 29″) in a recent issue and received so many comments they decided to run a more in-depth test of the new sixfifty606 model. Check it out at

The 2010 edition of Ride to Work Day at KHS Bicycles was a huge success. 91% of our employees rode to work including the owners riding a 20″ folding tandem. Vice-President Wayne D. Gray commuted the furthest, 70 miles each way by using a combination of bicycle and mass-transit. Purchasing Manager Jeff Tice won the title of longest pure bike commute by riding 43 miles each way from southern Orange County.

KHS Bicycles is located in an industrial area of South Los Angeles, so riding to our location may not be a vision of winding roads and fields of sunflowers. Many of our employees rode the Blue Line Metro from there neighborhoods, then rode the last half dozen miles. Energized riders were treated to bagels and cream cheese when arriving at KHS.

Now get to work!

Looking for a fuss-free budget bike for getting around the city? The Urban Soul from KHS Bicycles could be it – at £299.99 you’ll have to go a long way to find a machine as good for the price. Click here to read more.

We received an e-mail from a satisfied KHS owner. Richard said he has had his bicycle for at least 25 years (he bought it used) and rides it about 100 miles a week.

The paint and decals still look in great shape. Richard’s bicycle should be good for another 25 years, at least.

Thanks for the photos and testamonial Richard!

Now KHS has even more soul! The new 2009 KHS Urban Soul as just arrived, and we know this is what your looking for. Great urban vibe at a great price.

KHS’ newest bicycle is also our first 650B wheel size model. The sixfifty606 comes in 4 sizes (S, M, L, XL) to fit mmost everyone. The concept behind using the 650B wheel is really the best of both worlds. The 650B is larger than the standard 26″ MTB wheel for faster speeds, greater inertia, and ease of navigating small and large bumps. The wheel is slightly smaller than the 29″ that has become popular in the past few years. This allows for greater agility over the 29″, plus allows smaller riders to still beagle to use the 650B sze easier.
We feel the 650B could soon become the MTB standard, and the sixfifty606 could be your next bicycle.
