Monty officially displays the new 221 Kamel 2008 after some of the first apparitions of the prototypes and to have arisen a lot of expectation among the top riders.
Design:
Monty has produced a totally new design for the 221 Kamel after numerous tests and drawings.
The first thing that one can see is the curve of the main tube. This is the reason of its name: Kamel. Two main reasons for this special design: It underlines a new line on the design and very different from the other brands and gives more strength to the head tube helping to adsorb the great chocks in order to reduce the risk of breaking.
The head tube has suffered important changes too and now has an impressive hollow at the front, where the top fork tube can be seen. This implicates an important reduce on the weight so important in the competition.
About the sizes: The frame is now longer and the BB is in a more up-position. The stem is longer and with a more inclination-angle.
The fork has been upgraded, provided with a top tube in aluminium 7075. As a whole, the bike has an aggressive, charm and attractive design.
Components:
The components are similar to the 2007 model. The brakes are by Hope specially for Monty with rotors of 160mm. The freewheel is Monty, Ch.Moly, 6 pawls. The front rim is lighter than the model 2007 and the rear rim is wider as well. The handlebar is made in butted aluminium.
The look finish of the 221 Kamel 2008 is bi-colour: White in the superior part and polished in the inferior part, where the frame suffers more the shocks. This finish has been made in order to increase the original paint life.
Definitively, the new 221 Kamel 2008 is a bicycle that surprises and convinces to anyone by its design and by its performance as well. And sealing its privileges with a final weight of 8.700 Kg.
