The $529 KHS Flite 150 Is Proof You Don’t Need to Spend a Fortune to Get a Great Bike.

Apr 2019

This road bike offers great performance, versatility, and some surprisingly nuanced details.

Highs
  • High stack offers comfortable riding position

  • Uncommonly generous tire clearance for rim brakes

  • Fender and rack mounts

Lows
  • Stack height may be too high for riders who prefer a more aggressive fit.
