2027 STARTS NOW.

While we're busy completing and delivering the remaining orders for 2026, it's already time to start planning for 2027.

Building a VHP X takes time. Aluminium billets need to be ordered, CNC parts machined, carbon tubes wound, and everything prepared for bonding and final assembly.

That's why we're already planning our next production batches and allocating frame slots for early 2027.

We're working on a first-come, first-served basis, so the earlier you place your order, the earlier your frame can enter our production schedule.

Want to be among the first riding a new VHP X in 2027?

Now is the time to secure your spot.

Pro tip 🔧 We apply a thin layer of medium-strength Loctite between our bolt-on BB adapter and the frame as an extra precaution against creaking. In this particular connection, it beats grease with ease.

We haven’t tested it on other applications, but thought this little workshop trick was worth sharing.

BY THE COMMUNITY. FOR THE COMMUNITY.

Curious how your Kavenz would feel with shorter or longer chainstays?

We believe the best way to find your perfect setup is to actually ride it. And you shouldn't have to buy a new set of dropouts just to experiment.

That's why we've created the Kavenz Community Dropout Swap Forum.

Got +20 mm dropouts but want to try +10 mm? Chances are there's another rider looking for exactly the opposite.

Connect, swap, experiment, and help each other find the perfect setup.

Made for riders, not for sales.

Does chainring size matter on a high-pivot bike?

Yes, but probably not as much as you think.

On a high-pivot bike with an idler pulley, it's primarily the idler position that determines anti-squat, not the chainring size.

That means you're largely free to choose your chainring based on your preferred gearing without significantly changing the suspension characteristics.

There can be small differences, but unlike on a conventional suspension design, changing your chainring won't dramatically alter anti-squat or pedal kickback.

Fresh bearings. Smooth rides. Easy maintenance.

Our bearings and Bearing Removal Tool V2 are in stock! Our new YouTube video walks you through the entire bearing replacement process, step by step.

One of the best things about KAVENZ? One bearing size throughout the frame. Only the idler pulley uses a larger bearing. Simple by design, easy to service.

Watch the video, grab your tools, and get your bike running smoothly again.

Finally we made it super easy to find spares for your Kavenz VHP.

Exactly one year ago, we started with the idea of bonding frames. Today, we’re already shipping frame number 52.

I just want to say thank you to my team, my family, our industry partners, and most importantly, our customers who believed we could pull it off.

Your VHP X. Your dream build.

How would you spec it? 👀

SHORTER STEMS. LONGER CHAINSTAYS. ARE WE GOING TOO FAR?

At 77designz, we're currently working on an ultra-short 10–15 mm stem. And that got us thinking about the other end of the bike.

Shorter stems, often combined with higher handlebars, can shift the rider's position rearward, potentially reducing front-wheel pressure. So does that mean we need longer chainstays to compensate?

The Kavenz VHP X already offers +0, +10, +20 and +30 mm dropout options. But we've also been playing with the idea of +40.

The FEM model is already there, using 6000-series aluminium properties, even though we'd manufacture it from 7000-series. So technically, it looks feasible.

But personally? I'm firmly team short chainstays. I like bikes playful, easy to move around and fun.

We've actually ridden a prototype with +37 mm dropouts. And honestly, it felt dead boring.

Of course, that's just our preference. Some riders love that planted, stable feeling, and different riding styles and body proportions demand different setups.

That's exactly why we made the X so adjustable in the first place.

Still, +40 might be pushing it. Even aesthetically, I'm not entirely convinced.

So here's the question: Are ultra-short stems creating a genuine need for longer rear centres, or are we just chasing another trend?

Would you actually ride +40? Tell us your frame size, stem length and why.
