Kellys Bicycles (Slovakia) - Press Release: Might it be a small revolution of bikes of the future or rather standard evolution for which the time has finally come? Watch the KELLYS KEYNOTE 2021 now and let us introduce the hottest highlights of the new 2021 Kellys collection!

THEOS F-SERIES: THEOS F90, THEOS F70, THEOS F50:

THEOS F is a gamechanger, the first full-suspension e-bike in the industry with the advanced frame made of all-new revolutionary material THERMOPLASTIC HYBRID STEEL-CARBON COMPOSITE in advanced fully robotized process. The THEOS F frame is 200% stronger without any weight penalty compared to resin carbon fiber composites. From now on, the rider can fully benefit from the lightness of the frame without any worries about cracks, dents, fractures…

All-new THEOS F comes in two variants: SUPER-ENDURO (F90 and F70) with 180/170 millimeters of travel and ENDURO (F50) with reduced travel of 150/140 millimetres. Despite the variant, THEOS F utilises mullet layout with 29” front, and 27.5+” rear wheel for swift cornering, much better handling and speed. All-new chassis is full-composite, which means there are no metallic inserts used to increase the durability even more and reduce weight.

The next generation progressive geometry with short chainstays was applied to achieve extremely reduced standover height and lowered centre of gravity for stability and grip combined with slack headtube angle for ultimate downhill performance. Thanks to unique design the frame is ready for long-travel dropper posts (up to 200 mm), so desired by today's progressive riders.

The suspension utilises latest custom-tuned THINK LINK virtual-pivot suspension platform with asymmetrical damper kinematics to achieve desired geometry while keeping all THINK LINK benefits such as sensitivity, brake- and drivetrain-independence and no pedal kickback.
