Description
The Klein Adept series of dual-suspension bikes is designed for performance-oriented riders, from competitive-level pros to extreme adventurers. The Adepts offer the quick sprinting and precise steering of a hardtail mountain bike with the added benefits of full suspension: improved traction, smoother ride, better climbing, and increased speed. The unique Gradient bulged heaр tube adds more stiffness to front steering, giving you greater control for more efficient performance on and off the trail. A special K-link suspension pivot provides 2.75 inches of travel and improves energy transfer to the rear wheel for better handling through rough terrain. With tremendous shockabsorbing capacity, the Adepts are ideal for serious mountain ascents and descents or urban exploring.
Like all Klein bikes, Adepts were engineered to be the lightest dual suspension bikes. In 2002, Klein’s new ZR 9000 alloy, coupled with top-of-the-line component groupings, makes the Adept the lightest full-suspension bike on the market. In addition, the Adept Pro now includes a carbon fiber swingarm for even lighter weight and exceptional strength. Universal disc brake compatibility further increases the Adepts’ versatility.

A little about the seller:
I’ve been in the cycling industry for more than 30 years (I know, that makes me old!). I’ve been a professional bicycle mechanic for most of those years, including working locally at Lee’s Cyclery before they became Trek Stores. Now I work from home as a Customer Success Manager for a software team. But I still love fixing up and working on bikes, and riding them too!
Purchase from me with peace of mind. Not only can you trust my years of experience, but I will also fit you for the bike and provide any mechanical insight at the time of purchase. No warranties or refunds, provided. The bikes are sold as-is but It includes follow-up minor adjustments and fitting if needed within the first 30 days as well.
Shipping information:
I ship UPS Ground and the bike is disassembled. I do have a video to help in putting back together. Usually, it’s the Bars, Front Wheel, Pedals, and Seatpost that need to be put back on. I try to keep it simple. It will be packed very well, but if you see any damage to the box or bike keep the box and packing material plus, take pictures. I do insure all bikes that are shipped and require a signature. In addition, if shipped out of Colorado, there is no Sales Tax.
