When only the best will do, it's time to break out Shimano's XT components. Famed for their ease of use, precision and dependability, the wide-ranging 1x12 electronic gears and powerful hydraulic disc brakes are the obvious choice for the Kathmandu Hybrid C:62 SLT. Bosch's SX motor with 400Wh battery delivers up to 60Nm of pedal assistance with a significant weight saving. Combined with the lightweight C:62 carbon frame and fork plus carbon Newmen Phase 30 wheels, the result is a notably svelte grand tourer – and that means one that's easier and more fun to ride. It's just as practical as ever, though, with our super-sturdy IC 3.0 Integrated Carrier and a full complement of accessories. Across town or across continents, it's got your back.
