    Luminance Linetec

    Stylish integrated rear light with extra side LEDs and standlight for extra safety. 

    This is how it works:

    A) Using a patented lens system LineTec forms an even band of light from a single high-performance LED. This allows following traffic to estimate the distance to the cyclist considerably better.

    B) In contrast, it’s not possible to estimate the distance from the spread of a single point of light, as used in a conventional rear light. 

    This is how a car driver sees rear lights:

    Feathershock

    The Koga Feathershock front suspension fork is a unique Koga innovation and was specially developed for the keen touring cyclist. The Feathershock has a sporty appearance, is comfortable but at the same time much lighter than a standard front suspension fork. Also, this built-in suspension unit activates only when necessary: the fork gives extra comfort for wrists and shoulders without compromising the direct handling.

    Justera stem

    The Justera is a lightweight stem which is easily height-adjustable via a single bolt. The matching spacer replaces the traditional rings, so that the stem forms an integrated whole with the frame.

    Suomi chain guard

    A unique half-closed chain guard. On its back side, the Koga Suomi is almost completely closed, so that spray can’t get onto the chain and crankset from inside it. The chain is elegantly concealed at the front by a lip, which doesn’t just protect it but also gives a clean look.

    LoDo carrier rack

    Integration of carrier rack, mudguard and rear light results in a compact package which can carry up to 25 kg of luggage. This technically innovative concept allows the number of stays and bolts to be kept to a minimum. The precise worksmanship lends the entire item an elegant appearance. So in contrast to regular carrier racks, the LoDo is neatly attached at the front with a single stay which runs under the brake. The ends of the attachment stays for the carrier also tuck away precisely into the frame.

    Koga’s SoleMate Pedal ensures that your foot is automatically placed in the ideal position. The concave shape of the pedal encourages you to pedal with the ball of your foot, rather than the instep. This helps you pedal efficiently.

    Frame innovations

    Smooth Welding

    Wherever possible, welded joints on Kogas are perfectly evened out (super smooth welding), so that what remains is a completely smooth finish. This doesn’t just look more elegant; it also prevents rust formation along the weld seam – a point which is traditionally very susceptible to this.
     

    Crystal clear protection coating

    All frames are treated with a high quality paint finish (in 3 separate layers), called Crystal Clear Protection Coating (CCPC). This paintwork not only provides perfect frame protection, but the topmost Crystal Clear layer also ensures very clear colour reproduction. All frame stickers are applied under the paint coating so that they’re perfectly protected against external influences.

    Q-Guard

    The patented Q-Guard is the perfect symbiosis of a quick-release and a derailleur protector. Integrating the two has resulted in an innovative new accessory. The derailleur protector also functions as the lever for the quick-release, making the whole design lighter and also more attractive visually, with a clean look.

    Koga’s Rayo front light: Compact and powerful lighting

    Koga developed the Rayo front light in collaboration with lighting specialists Busch & Müller. The objective was to develop a front light which wouldn’t be obstructed by a handlebar bag, and which would form a single unit with the rest of the bike. The Rayo excelled in all tests for robustness and durability, thanks to the solid sandwich type construction between the light housing and mudguard. A new, extremely powerful LED and reflector technology, IQ-TEC, allowed us to build both the lamp unit and the reflector into a very small area. This provides a light level of 35 Lux, around three times as powerful as specified in the German StVZO traffic regulations.
