It really is the solution to a problem that no one had.

Although many see this system as a 'solution for a non-existent problem', I'd challenge that perspective. As a disabled rider (I only have one hand), stability is an issue for me. I use a prosthetic to support my riding but even then, my left side of my body is just not as strong as my right. Having a system like this is definitely beneficial to riders with similar disabilities, even if that is not what Canyon's target market was.

Just to double check , Canyon are charging another 700 bucks for two drilled holes in the frame and a spring?

TWO springs. Also a piece of nylon fabric.

So much negativity in the comments! There doesn’t need to be a problem with how we currently do things for there to be a better or improved way. Sure, problems force change but trying something different for the hell of it can bring progress too. Anyway, more importantly, how rad are Wil’s overalls/ dungarees?!!! Do they have room for knee pads? Comfy enough for an all day ride? What’s the pocket situation? So many unanswered questions……

Wait, some frame manufacturers have claimed that one of the main benefits to headset cable routing is that drilling/forming holes in the frame for cables to route through makes for weaker frames, yet here's one with gapping windows in the head and top tubes for a spring and string. Come on bike industry, get your lies straight. 🤣😂😅

This is a clear example of a solution in search of a problem, in my view. I was not surprised at the number of reviewers who gushed about this when it came out. $ponsor$

Im looking at this video because i am looking at the KIS mullet with the rockshox suspension, coil shock and transmition drivetrain. This video was really helpful (was originally looking at a Strive and then a polygon) so thanks Flow!

Slack head angles calm down high speed steering so I guess this is kinda like that concept without needing a 63 degree HA?

I disagree about this being a solution to a problem that doesn't exist because you stated the problem before - wheel flop and instability. It's not a major one but sometimes subtle improvement can reap great benefits. I love the unique colour of the frame too - looks fantastic!

so basically they made a steering damper for bikes...something motorbikes has had for a long time....exactly why is this revolutionary??

We had steering dampeners in the 90's They didn't stick back then. Maybe with todays slacker geo there is now a true place for them?

This is how forks started, with springs. Then they went to air compression with stanchions. Next for KIS is same - air pressured stanchions, and then progressive tokens 😂

Why oh why did they need to put K.I.S. on the top tube? 😂 looks so dumb. Might be a cool system but only if it literally disappears into the build IMO.

Its inside the tube 🤷 Its just the preload adjustment which is outside.
