Bike configurator
How to choose the right folding bike
The Kolos No. 6 folding bike has a multipurpose aluminium frame suitable for both men and women with height ranging from 150 to 190 cm and weighing up to 120 kg. Clincher wheels have standard hubs and double rims with 36 holes. This makes them solid and easily repairable in the event of a defect. The seat tube on the frame is fitted with a machined nylon sleeve that prevents scratching of the seatpost from frequent folding of the bike. The frame is secured by a magnetic holder when folded.
The tilting stem is adjustable in height. We have selected all the fittings with maximum care. You will find Shimano parts (always the complete line), as well as parts from Humpert (Germany), Herrmans (Finland), and Spanninga (Netherlands).
Colour
The colour of the frame or the forks is simply a matter of your choice. If you prefer to choose a colour that is not in the configurator, you can select “other RAL” and specify your preference in the note section in the order. We can supply you with a bike of any colour according to the basic RAL colour chart. Note: Always choose the colour from a printed paint colour chart during daylight. PC monitors and artificial lighting often distort colours. A RAL colour chart is available from all paint stores and of course from our store.

For occasional bike use, the basic Shimano Tourney with Force components should be sufficient. If you intend to use your bike daily, we recommend the Alivio Line or the higher range Deore LX. The Deore LX option with hydraulic brakes is not compatible with the rear carrier and dynamo hub so is therefore primarily intended for dynamic sport cycling.
A bike fitted with the Deore LX line and with V brakes has the lowest weight of 12 kg, minus accessories.
Lights
We offer a choice of two types - AAA battery powered lights and dynamo hub powered lights.
| Type of lights | What is this comprised of? |
|---|---|
| Battery powered lights | Battery powered front light H-IKE 15 LUX diode |
| Battery powered rear light HGOGGLE XI diode | |
| Dynamo hub powered light | Front dynamo hub powered light H-ONE S 75 LUX, micro diode, optics, standlight |
| Rear light HGOGGLE DYNAMO, diode, standlight | |
| For Alivio parts, dynamo hub DH-T4000 6V - 1.5W | |
| For Deore LX parts, dynamo hub DH-T675 6V – 3W |
Battery powered lighting weighs less, but is less powerful. The dynamo hub light is slightly heavier but delivers top performance with no need for battery replacement. Additionally, you can use a dynamo hub (with Deore LX parts) when connected to a suitable battery charger, as a power source for recharging your phone or navigation device. The lights are fitted with a Standlight system (the lights remain on for several minutes after stopping).
Accessories
Depending on your requirements, you can have your bike fitted with mudguards (sandwich – plastic + aluminium, long) with rear rack, stand or transport pack. You can choose depending on whatever you intend to do with your bike.
