"For this epic adventure they needed the perfect touring bike. Reza and Steven decided to use the Koga Signature configurator to custom build their bikes."

In 2007/2008, Mark Beaumont broke the world record time for cycling around the world. He made the 18,296 miles (29,446 km) in 194 days and 17 hours, smashing the old record by 81 days.

From the North Cape to the South Cape
18,000 miles in 100 days, from the North Cape down to the South Cape that was the dream of the two British cycling adventurers Reza Pakravan and Steven Pawley. By making the journey in the shortest possible time they hoped to set a new world record and raise money for the Azafady charity to build two new schools in Madagascar.
The bike
For this epic adventure they needed the perfect touring bike. Reza and Steven decided to use the Koga Signature configurator to custom build their bikes. He chose a Traveller KS-TR 28 with rohloff and toothed belt drive.
During the trip, the bikes proved themselves under all circumstances, "Our KOGA Signature trekking bikes rode smoothly from the North to the South Cape." The two Britons had a lot to endure during their trip, with their adventures being recorded almost daily on their blog

Features








Where possible, the welds of KOGA frames are perfectly levelled (smooth welding) so that a completely smooth surface is produced. This not only enhances the visual appeal but additionally reduces the risk of corrosion around the welds; an area which is traditionally susceptible to the formation of rust.


Beautiful and functional integration of the cables. As a result, the cables are better protected from the weather. Moreover, the bike is easier to keep clean and has an improved sleek appearance.


The patented Koga Q-Guard is the perfect symbiosis of a quick release and a derailleur protector. By integrating both functions an innovative, new component has emerged. The derailleur protector also functions as the lever for the quick release. This solution is lighter than the sum of the two individual components and visually more attractive.


The KOGA Justera is a lightweight stem which is easily height adjustable through means of a single bolt. The corresponding spacer replaces the traditional rings, with the stem elegantly integrated with the frame.


KOGA's SoleMate pedal ensures that the ideal foot position is automatically adopted. The concave shape of the pedal encourages the pedalling with the ball of the foot rather than the instep. The pedalling is therefore made more efficient.


KOGA Crown Connect technology, with the headlamp, mudguard,front fork and lighting cables perfectly integrated.


The spokes are fixed by means of nipples which are guided through both walls of the rim. This creates an extremely stable and durable wheel.
