Kraus are known for their radical approach to bike buildingand their machines are nothing short of spectacular. However, prepare for something really amazing: the Kyrgyz, a motorcycle which is as striking as it is beautiful.
Almost entirely hand-made from stainless steel and with a glorious polished nickel finish, the Kraus Kyrgyz is both evil and noble. The fluid Kraus frame houses a '65 80cui Panhead power unit mated to a 4-speed Revtech gearbox and despite the solid hardtail look, it comes with a rear suspension with 2.5-inch travel (6.35 cm). The huge springer fork has no triple tree and was raked to a hefty 45-degree angle, then loaded with custom BMX-style bars for a killer look.
If you take a good look, you'll see no levers, not for brake and not for clutch, and that's because Kraus went for their proprietary hidden Twist Brake and a foot-actuated clutch, with hand shifting, adding even more unique style to this amazing motorcycle and furthermore establishing new rules and borders to bike building.
