THe Cytomax/KHS race has been valuable testing resource for the development of our new KHS sixfifty606 model bicycle. But going fast on the trail is not the only speed Chuck Jenkins and his “650 Crew” get to enjoy.
The 2010 edition of Ride to Work Day at KHS Bicycles was a huge success. 91% of our employees rode to work including the owners riding a 20″ folding tandem. Vice-President Wayne D. Gray commuted the furthest, 70 miles each way by using a combination of bicycle and mass-transit. Purchasing Manager Jeff Tice won the title of longest pure bike commute by riding 43 miles each way from southern Orange County.
KHS Bicycles is located in an industrial area of South Los Angeles, so riding to our location may not be a vision of winding roads and fields of sunflowers. Many of our employees rode the Blue Line Metro from there neighborhoods, then rode the last half dozen miles. Energized riders were treated to bagels and cream cheese when arriving at KHS.
Now get to work!

The Urban Soul looks ready to tackle the cobbles
Richard's KHS Bicycles Chivalry still sees about 100 week
Decals have changed a bit over the years
This is the original KHS head tube badge that is found on the 1970's and 1980's KHS bikes
We received an e-mail from a satisfied KHS owner. Richard said he has had his bicycle for at least 25 years (he bought it used) and rides it about 100 miles a week.
The paint and decals still look in great shape. Richard’s bicycle should be good for another 25 years, at least.
Thanks for the photos and testamonial Richard!

KHS’ newest bicycle is also our first 650B wheel size model. The sixfifty606 comes in 4 sizes (S, M, L, XL) to fit mmost everyone. The concept behind using the 650B wheel is really the best of both worlds. The 650B is larger than the standard 26″ MTB wheel for faster speeds, greater inertia, and ease of navigating small and large bumps. The wheel is slightly smaller than the 29″ that has become popular in the past few years. This allows for greater agility over the 29″, plus allows smaller riders to still beagle to use the 650B sze easier.
We feel the 650B could soon become the MTB standard, and the sixfifty606 could be your next bicycle.
