\t\t\t\tMore About The All-New Carrera Karkinos Mountain Bike
\t\t\t
\t\t\t\tExtra Comfort \t\t\t\tCustomers told us that features such as saddle comfort were a crucial element of their riding experience. Recognising this we’ve therefore equipped the Carrera Karkinos with a memory foam saddle as standard - helping you spend even more time comfortably on your rides. These saddles are specific to the discipline and their shape is designed to complement that style of riding.  \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\tOften overlooked but important contact points, we’ve developed new handlebar grips whose shape enables a steady hold with a knurled soft rubber surface for additional comfort. \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\tEfficient Modern Gears \t\t\t\tTo enhance the riding experience, we have also designed the Karkinos to have a 2x drivetrain. One less cog at the front means less weight and less maintenance but also makes changing gears more intuitive as fewer choices help you get the one you want quicker. And, don’t worry about the range of gears. The Karkinos comes equipped with a bigger 8-speed cassette at the back wheel, so you’ve still got those important choices at the top and bottom end of the range. Sometimes, less is definitely more! \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\tCarrera Karkinos Bike Maintenance \t\t\t\tKeeping your bike in peak condition is key if you plan on having it a long time, so let look after your Carrera Karkinos with CycleCare. With a huge range of services covering everything from your brake cables to the chainset, CycleCare is designed to ensure your bike stays in peak condition, even after plenty of miles. Remember that you can always bring your Carrera  to your local store for unlimited free safety checks for as long as you have the receipt. \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\tOur Frame Guarantee \t\t\t\tWe take bike build quality seriously, which is why your new Carrera Karkinos comes with a lifetime frame guarantee. The Carrera Karkinos really is built to last. *Please see our T&C's here \t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\tLooking for more Mountain Bike Buying Tips?
