Bike: il telaio K1 (o K1 Disk / K1 Chassis) di Parkpre — è un modello endurance da strada, carbone monoscocca, con geometrie orientate al comfort, ma anche progettato per performance degne.

Comfort su lunghe distanze: la scelta di geometrie rilassate e materiali UD con foderi posteriori sottili permette di limitare la fatica su uscite lunghe, strade rotte, vibrazioni. Ottimo se fai giri di molti km o usi misti asfalto/strade “secondarie”.

Rigidità sufficiente: non è telaio “da cronometro”, ma la costruzione monoscocca e la struttura permettono comunque buona risposta e trasmissione della potenza.

Peso competitivo: sotto il chilogrammo (≈ 950 g) è un buon valore per un telaio endurance disk con caratteristiche moderne.

Personalizzazione e design: Parkpre offre opzioni di finitura, colori, scelta di gruppi, montaggi.

Key items of kit: la linea Adventure di Givi-Bike è una gamma dedicata al bikepacking e agli appassionati di mountain bike / gravel che vogliono viaggiare leggeri ma con attrezzatura tecnica affidabile. È parte della collezione GIVI Bike ed è stata lanciata nel 2022. È pensata per mountain bike e gravel, per chi ama l’avventura su terreni misti, lunghe escursioni, tour multi-giorno, Include borse tecniche (da manubrio, da sella, da telaio etc.), tutte impermeabili, termo-saldate. Materiale principale: Nylon Ripstop ad alta tenacità, laminato in PU (o rivestito PU) per garantire resistenza e protezione dagli agenti esterni.

Impermeabilità: le borse sono progettate per essere impermeabili, con cuciture termosaldate, materiali resistenti e chiusure tipo roll-top.

Visibilità: loghi riflettenti su varie parti utili per la sicurezza in condizioni di scarsa luce. Cicloturismo

Sistema di fissaggio: cinture, attacchi specifici; la borsa da forcella “Carrier” ha un sistema “Contatto / Fork Fitting System” per montar-e-smontare facilmente.

Leggerezza / compattezza: vista la destinazione (bikepacking leggero), si cerca di mantenere il peso contenuto pur garantendo robustezza. Inoltre ci sono elementi come i distanziali in schiuma per stabilizzare il carico.

Ottimo compromesso tra peso e durabilità — i materiali resistono bene all’usura tipica del fuoristrada.

Buona impermeabilità: utile in condizioni reali, pioggia, umidità.

Modularità, cioè puoi utilizzare solo alcune borse o “combo” (set multipli) per costruire il carico in base al tipo di uscita.

copertone Vittoria RideArmor 700×28C

Ottima protezione antiforatura Grazie alla combinazione tra carcassa rinforzata, strato di Kevlar, ArmorSkin sui fianchi, è uno dei pneumatici più robusti che Vittoria offre per la strada. Se fai molti chilometri su asfalto con detriti, vetri, bordi taglienti, buchette, questo aiuta molto.

Versatilità / utilizzo tutto l’anno È descritto come pneumatico “all-season, training & commuting” su superfici varie e con condizioni atmosferiche diverse. Se ti serve qualcosa che resista pioggia, usura, uso quotidiano, è congeniale.

Compatibilità tubeless / Hookless La versione a partire da 28 mm è compatibile con cerchi hookless / TSS (un vantaggio se vuoi montarlo senza camera d’aria, con sigillante, per ridurre il rischio di forature e miglior comfort grazie a pressioni più basse).

Buon grip / mescola La mescola Grafene + Silice dovrebbe offrire un buon compromesso tra aderenza, soprattutto su bagnato, resistenza all’usura e anche un rotolamento non esageratamente penalizzante per quello che offre. Non è un “superlight” ma è bilanciato.
