When only the best will do, it's time to break out Shimano's XT components. Famed for their ease of use, precision and dependability, the wide-ranging 1x12 gears and powerful hydraulic disc brakes are the obvious choice for our Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLT 400X. We also selected Bosch's new SX motor and Kiox display with 400Wh battery, for up to 55Nm of pedal assistance with a significant weight saving. Combined with the lightweight C:62® carbon frame, full carbon fork and carbon Newmen Phase 30 wheels plus superlight Schwalbe Aerothan inner tubes, the result is a significantly svelter grand tourer. It's just as practical as ever, though, with our super-sturdy IC 3.0 integrated carrier and a full complement of accessories. Across town or across continents, it's got your back.
