 I've seen pictures throughout 2022 of KHS bikes & riders at US held enduros. I was shocked. I haven't seen one locally in 15+ years. But this video is of my local trails, sad I missed seeing this lochness in the wild.

 @MattyBoyR6: I bet if you look closely they look like a session or a slash with KHS logos.

 KHS is primarily a parts distributor similar to QBP that sells open mold frames. They sponsor gravity athletes, giving them a budget to travel, race and buy equipment which I think is pretty rad.

 @TannerValhouli: motobecane used the khs dh plans and sold them as the 2hundred7 and 2hundred10 bike

 Every KHS racer I've seen was just on personal bikes with KHS stickers. They seem to support domestic racing, which is great though.

 @MattyBoyR6: I do not believe any of them were riding actual KHS bikes though... most of them looks like a small Session...

 Funny, I made the same comment about 7-8 years ago on PB about this and KHS blocked me from commenting...they are incognito and very sensitive about it.

 Only KHS I remember seeing ever was when my former coach was riding for the KHS domestic road race team. That was the only one. And reading these comments, I'm not sure it was a KHS.

 If KHS is not a money laundering company I have to raise my medication. And I dig insane Wayne croasdale and my KHS Montana comp from 1992.

 Definitely not a KHS bike he's on... headbadge is Trek... you can see it clearly in the slomo portion of the vid.

 Some of them ride Trek's, some ride KHS frames. It's been this way for years and I don't think they're trying to keep it a secret. What most people don't realize is that KHS is a pretty big B2B vendor for parts and accessories, which is how I assume they're making most of their money; not from selling their own bikes.

 Kudos to KHS to always supporting domestic racing. There is maybe not a ton of KHS at every trailhead but there are always a few next to podiums at national races.

 Its it still funny to comment: "Looks like a session" ?
  • 1 1
 nothing against the racer but P95 series ranking EWS 2022 .....podiums? world class?....is there anyone checking/reading the articles before they get published? This should be marked as "100% KHS ad"

 What's a 'KHS'?

 Back in the day, it was abbreviations for Krapy Hunk Shit. You could hear the frame rattle as it flew by.

 They may not have presence at the world cups but KHS supports lots of riders in the US.

 Will Skelton stay on KHS? , that’s the real question.

 From the video, it look like their bikes go down hill pretty well... as long as the trail is straight.

 How is it that all this teams pick up riders that don't win. not a stranger to the podium? its all about vid content and fallowers now. you dont have to win anymore
  • 4 1
 It’s not about real talent as a racer, it’s an influencer’s world! . . . SAD
  • 6 0
 Possibly dumbest comment ever, a rider who is winning every race will be too expensive for a company like this, bigger brands can offer more. The goal is to support them early and hope they have a break out year on your bike. You know kinda like if you bought Amazon 10 years ago

 @gjedijoe: lol!!! hoping for breakout year. its not happening.

 This is front page news?

 Interestingly KHS aren't listed as a 2023 sponsor on the front page. Maybe they're short of content as it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
