Quick glance: Needs more (blue) colors.

Some solid color paint jobs would be nice to see on future frames. Basics, like white, red, blue...along with mixes. Still enjoying my '08 Kharma.

Very tasteful look in my opinion. Just enough without looking like a NASCAR (which I find quite cheesy for a bike).

Looks alright, very standard and a bit boring for my taste. Over sized tubes on the front triangle paired with very standard geometry and a white and black paint scheme really doesn't stand out.
I agree with everyone on the paint schemes.…I think the Kuota line is always very monochromatic…I’d like us to get some yellow, blue, green, etc…something other than black/white/silver/red…..hopefully next year.

Can't you just get it from hong-fu or whatever and paint it any color you like.
The Hong-Fu bikes while they look great; aren’t in fact Kuota’s. Some of them are made using the older open molds that we are no longer using. And on those, they won’t use the same layup and materials that we did when using those molds. And that is truly what separates each bike from the other.

Very steep angle on the fork.
Probably just the picture playing tricks…the HT angle on a Med is 72.5° and the fork rake is 48mm.

seatpost and seat clamp looks very much like the one on my Kuota K-Factor 2009 ... which is not good as it keeps slipping when I hit a pothole (unavoidable here in Montreal).
Other than that, the paint scheme is very boring, it may have been better with different wheels.
Have we replaced that clamp assembly for you? If not, contact us directly and let’s see if that fixes the problem. Let me know if you need the contact info for our office (also in Montreal).

So....no picture of the K-Factor?
Also, why keep the Kalibur around? It basically serves the same purpose of the Kueen K. I also don't see the need for the aluminum Korsa when you can just make the STA steeper on the new K Factors.
The K-Factor is on the Bike Rumor site. It doesn’t change at all for 2011. The Kalibur they show there is the new one. We expect that it will steal some sales from the Kueen K as it represents newer technology and is lighter. The Kueen K remains unchanged.
