Our KATO is a fast E-Hardtail with a disciplined performance for long trail taming tours! It is powered by Shimano's new Steps MTB motor, which is specifically geared to e-bike requirements. It is light, compact but extremely powerful. Visually, the lithe, slim battery nestles perfectly on the downtube. In addition, our KATO range offers the right model for each e-biker preference: The 27.5-inch Plus tyres ensure an extremely high level of comfort, pleasure and safety on the trails, while speed junkies might prefer the 29er. And from the top model KATO 8 with telescopic support and Di2 through to the relaxed KATO 2, we have the most varied equipment at hand.
A combination of normal and hydroformed tubes allows a specific power flow in each frame part and also offers a good price-performance ratio.
Every last detail of our FEM-optimised frames has been improved using complex calculations. This results in simple solutions that are much more complex than they appear.
Butted tapering has many advantages, including weight reduction, greater stiffness and improved load distribution.
The connection between the chainstay and bottom bracket is a crucial point on the bike. With our elaborate forged solution we achieve a very high degree of stiffness and strength.
