2006 is the year of carbon. With so many carbon fiber bikes available in 2006 it is important to look carefully at how each of the bikes are actually made. The closer you look at the 2006 Kuota K-Factor the better the bike becomes. This is a real triathlete's bike will good frame geometry and real-world features that make your ownership experience trouble free. Starting at around $2600 for a complete bike the K-Factor has superior ride quality and is incredibly durable. The same technology used in Normann Stadler's Ironman winning Kuota Kalibur is seen in the K-Factor. Kuota has emerged as the premier Italian triathlon bike design company. Regardless of price, it is tough to find another bike in any frame material as nice as the K-Factor. Another important concern is that the Kuota K-Factor has been readily available throughout the 2006 season, unlike other brands with major supply problems.
