EICMA - Kuota Coolness
The glamour of the EICMA show was found at the Kuota booth. All of their Italian carbon machines were glimmering under the exhibition lights. BiciRace.com was gazing deep into the gloss finish on the cool carbon weave.

BiciRace.com was introduced to the new K-Factor TT frame. The frame is a evolution of the Kalibur triathlon frame that has been used in many Ironman victories. We were impressed with the design on the rear-triangle. The bladed stays hugged the rear wheel in a way that simply looked aero.
Khan

We were also pointed in the direction of the popular Khan. Right away we noticed the design on the seat stays. The DDC, or Dual Drive Concept, is designed to keep the rear laterally stiff. The DDC, along with the curvy seat stays, definitely looked slick and fast.
