The Kepler has been a staple of the brand BROTHER CYCLES from Kent, UK for the past 7 years. We at BIKE PUNK are also very happy to have the Kepler in our range as a 2022 version. The Kepler was designed by BROTHER CYCLES with versatility in mind. The Kepler is the "Jack of all", the all-rounder among the gravel bikes. It doesn't matter whether it's a short or long daily commute to work on bad roads, to simply grind kilometers at the weekend or for your next bikepacking adventure, whether on the road or over gravel and sand - with the Kepler you are ready to master all tasks that stand before you. Objectively speaking, you really don’t need more bicycles! Kepler takes over everything!
For 2022 it is equipped with a solid and reliable SRAM Rival 1x11-speed group with a wide range of gear ratios that will not let you despair even on steeper climbs. WTB i19 rims built around Formula sealed thru axle hubs make for a great looking and fast rolling wheelset, which is clad in 37c WTB Riddler tires for optimal performance on a variety of road surfaces. Last but not least, the easy-to-maintain but fairly crisp TRP Spyre disc brakes give you absolute confidence when stopping in all conditions.
The frame is made from double butted 4130 chromoly steel, a functional tube that offers the perfect balance of comfort and durability. BROTHER CYCLES also applied an ED coating under the paint to protect against corrosion. It's fully equipped for front and rear racks, fenders, and has three bottle mount positions if you're loading for a longer trip. The fork also now features triple cage mounts on the fork blades.
