Kiaro Disc
With the KIARO DISC, SIMPLON sends a comfort racer to the road that doesn’t shy away from comparison. With features like the Comfort Concept or the Raptor Dropout on the forks, the focus is on comfort without sacrificing SIMPLON’s racing genes. The clean look of the internally routed cables in the Smart Headset creates a cool front view without cable clutter. To improve braking performance, especially in wet conditions, the KIARO DISC is equipped with the latest generation of disc brakes. Overall, an outstanding bike for those who value comfort but don’t want to sacrifice speed.
maximum comfort without any losses in speed
On the KIARO DISC, comfort and speed enter a perfect symbiosis. The notorious saying “Speed knows no pain” doesn’t apply in this case. The road bike not only allows you to be among the front runners. It also lets you master every marathon with relative ease. The speed genes of the carbon bike can be felt instantly: When accelerating, the bike reacts immediately and directly converts power into forward propulsion. What’s more, the balanced geometry and comfortable sitting position will impress long-distance pros in particular.

All lengths in mm
*STR: The higher the number, the more upright is the seating postion.
Due to the integrated seatpost clamping without the otherwise usual "seat tube stub", the dimension "A" is shorter than the corresponding frame height.
On the KIARO DISC, KIARO PMAX and PRIDE ll models, the top tube is sloping, which results in a difference between the frame size and the "A" dimension.

Just like all SIMPLON bike models, our KIARO DISC is equipped with a range of innovative technologies. For instance, our comfort racer scores highly with the Maximum Power Transfer technology: The tube cross-sections of the chainstays as well as the carbon structure are designed for maximum stiffness in the bottom bracket area. It could hardly provide any more propulsion! The left chainstay gives the bike additional stiffness with its prominent fin.
The KIARO’s secret sauce: the our Comfort Concept - ultra-thin VIBREX® seatstays, a seatpost with VIBREX® technology and a flattened top tube ensure exceptional suspension and sitting comfort. Additionally, the Raptor Dropout – rear-facing dropouts – increase vertical flex and thus riding comfort.
Bike classification: ASTM category 1
