It steers straight for you? WHY?! Canyon Bikes K.I.S. explained
Jump to Connections
831,151 Views ā€¢ Feb 9, 2023 ā€¢ Click to toggle off description
Canyon's K.I.S. system keeps your handlebars straight with an adjustable spring, which doubles as a connection point between the front and rear of the bike.

The fact that dirt bikes have used similar systems for years really says something. After all, the speed and travel of mountain bikes has been increasing steadily for decades now, and with Ebikes in the mix, so is their weight.

When seth can make a better video for KIS than the people at canyon who are literally getting paid for it. Love it.

Another benefit is that on bike's with really slack head tube angles, it can help reduce the floppy feeling of the front wheel when climbing.

As someone who does a lot of hike-a-biking on steep, lumpy terrain, I think it would be kind of helpful in preventing the front wheel from annoyingly flopping around like it likes to do in certain situations.

I think it's important to look at it as part of the entire system. You can run a fork with less offset, which would make the bike "twitchy", and then dial that back in with the KIS. The combination of the two could give you sharper handling without it being TOO sharp.

The effect of the end of your diamondback-sponsorship on your channel is as you said, more variety and I'm loving it

I think the real benefit of this is for bike storage! Not having the front wheel flop to the side would be a massive help

This concept is like a century old. Used to be a spring from back of fork crown to underside of downtube on porteurs and other city bikes.

These videos always remind me that Seth can carry crazy speed on downhill through corners and techā€”really talented rider

Thanks Diamondback for dropping as sponsor. So cool to see all what this industry has to offer!

You know what? I like this. Maybe it is the future, but maybe it isn't. But I'm always happy to see attempts at novel innovations. As we approach "peak bike" these weird features are the only ways for companies to distinguish themselves from other brands.

Not all innovations are for everyone. I could see this being very beneficial for riders that are with one arm. This might help with fatigue and keep the bike stable when riding.

One of the most interesting and innovative bike system Iā€™ve seen in years. Actually looks really beneficial

Would have liked to hear more about how it feels jumping. Especially whips, bar turns and tables in the air

This has been around forever on old comuterbikes, at least in sweden. They put a spring between the front mudguard and the frame. It's useful when walking or parking your bike.

The question is if you can do a barspin, will it throw the bars back for you? Maybe Sam or Brad can test that out for Canyon.

I would like to see a ā€žMaintenanceā€œ Video of the KIS system. I know they claim that its maintenance-free but lets be real we all know we would take it apart at least once, so Iā€™d like to see someone who has not actively worked on developing it take it apart and put it back together in real time. Maybe that would give another view on the whole complexity topic.

I was initially concerned about how to repair it but seeing it can be removed through the frame is cool.

I love your honesty. I'm not a MTB'er per say, but your videos are always entertaining, and you are VERY good at putting everything into layman's terms. I like your open mindedness to accept controversial parts that work better than you anticipated, as well as your ability to see possible issues with new tech and expose it for the placebo they are. Keep up the great work.

Seth, just stopped in to say I'm an avid budget bike rider. I took the Schwinn Boundary, stripped it to the frame, and upgraded everything. I'm not a serious mnt biker but do like riding some trails. I know you have high end bikes but I do love your flip bike videos and have become a fan from watching those!! This video was interesting to! I do like keeping up with all the new tech with mnt biking. I loved your back yard mnt bike trail videos! Keep the videos coming!

This is an old trick used on city bikes. When you park the bike by leaning it on a post, the front wheel turns in and the bike want to roll backwards and fall down. The centering spring keeps the wheel straight and the bike does not fall down. Helps too when using a kickstand. I tried it but removed it again after I found that riding no hands is difficult unless the speed is high. We won't know if the KIS is really beneficial on MTBs until it has been used for a while. Good video.
