Founded in 2022, Karbon Bikes is a small company out of Massachusetts whose mission is to create unique and exclusive bikes around proven components. The PowerLine SL is their first lightweight model, aimed at offering full power performance in a sub-43 pound package via a 75 Nm Bafang motor and a 410-watt hour battery. How is this all possible? And what's a Karbon? We asked the same questions and were eager to see what this blinged-out mystery bike was all about.
