Take your riding to the next level with Canyon K.I.S.

by Jason Lorch October 26, 2022

Take your riding to the next level. All new Keep It Stable (K.I.S.) technology stabilises steering and improves control.

A simple idea, ingeniously executed. Canyon K.I.S. – Keep It Stable – is an integrated spring mechanism that connects a cam ring on the fork’s steerer tube to an anchor point within your frame’s top tube. As your handlebars turn away from centre, the springs gain tension and actively work to re-centre your steering.

What does this mean on trail? The system actively combats wheel flop, filters out front wheel deflections, and even helps to reduce understeer and control two-wheel drifts.

K.I.S. actively works to bring the bars back to centre. This centring force filters out unwanted inputs from the trail or rider, boosting control and precision.

NO CONSTRAINTS

The uniquely shaped cam ring and pre-tensioned springs provide a virtually frictionless centring force that stays consistent and predictable across the full steering range.

MAINTENANCE FREE

Safely located inside the frame, the corrosion-resistant custom springs, hardware and ultra-strong synthetic fibre bands ensure this system is completely maintenance-free.

HERO!

Centering Bars

TRAIL TOUGH

Mishaps are part of riding (even with support from K.I.S.). To ensure the system can’t overextend in a trail bail a rotation stop keeps it safe, no matter where your bars end up.

TUNE YOUR RIDE

Dial in how much support you want from K.I.S. Choose between the most system support for maximum stability, or back it off for increased agility.

HOLD YOUR LINE

K.I.S. actively filters out front wheel deflections so you can charge through rock gardens and take on slippery off-cambers with confidence.

Friction Free

Crash Proof

BOSS TECHNICAL CLIMBS

Stop battling wheel flop. Stay in control and increase your efficiency on steep climbs with fewer surges in power required to maintain balance and keep you on track.

CONFIDENCE AT SPEED

Perfectly weighted, more predictable steering means less twitchiness, reduced fatigue and greater control when you’re pinning it down a trail.

MORE CONTROL AT THE LIMIT

Fewer front-wheel washouts and more controllable 2-wheel drifts. K.I.S. helps the front and rear end turn as one. And acts as a central reference point to reduce over-corrections.

TEAR THROUGH TIGHT TURNS

The unique design and adjustability mean K.I.S. works with you not against you on the trail. Even in tight sections you’ll have full control of the bike.

Born and grew up in Wales but now a fully fledged Aussie. A passionate mountain biker, hiker and general nature addict. I'm also a bit of a muso and enjoy a good craft beer every now and again (probably too often). I hope what we do here at Tyres and Soles will inspire people to get out there and experience first hand, the natural wonders that surround them. So, pump up those tyres, don your favourite boots. Grab a mate, a partner, a pet… and head out into nature. But tell us all about it when you get back.
