KISKA’s aggressive mullet long-travel gravity bike elevates the industry-proven high pivot layout with head-turning design.
 
International Brand and Design agency KISKA has unveiled a revolutionary concept bike featuring a contemporary high pivot layout, designed to deliver an unparalleled experience for park rats and freeriders who desire one thing: pure unadulterated fun.
 
KISKA's concept harnesses the well-established benefits of the freshly developed high pivot kinematic layout. As proven in downhill races worldwide, this design offers enhanced responsiveness and stability in compression, as the direction of the wheel travel aligns with the impact. The result is a smoother and subtler suspension, that proves itself against the clock.
 
But KISKA's High Pivot goes beyond the standard advantages of this layout. Featuring an aggressive geometry and extended travel, it’s engineered to be a true shred machine. By semi-integrating the shock into the downtube, the bike achieves a seamless blend of functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal, boldly meeting the demands of die-hard riders.
 
“We wanted to create a bike that appealed to the ‘freeracer’ of 2024 – sending huge gaps, railing beams, tackling highly technical terrain, and throwing tricks all against the clock”, said Matt Granger, Bicycle Design Engineering Lead at KISKA. “This project showcases the ambition and expertise of the Munich-based KISKA Bicycle Design & Engineering team – it was a dream project for us all.”
 
Currently, the KISKA High Pivot concept is a 1:1 scale show model displayed at the agency’s EUROBIKE booth. It acts as an example of how KISKA can create highly feasible and developmentally exciting new layouts in a short timeframe. It also reflects the passion and dedication of the KISKA team, whose designers and engineers are avid riders themselves. This hands-on experience translates into realistic designs that effectively address real rider challenges.

Gonna suck cleaning mud and crap out of that shock recess.

 

Also, Chat GPT.
"We care so much about the bikes we produce, that we'd couldn't even be arsed writing about them ourselves!"

 

*edit*
Hey Kiska, fire who ever you have doing Com's/PR.
