📝 First ride review by NSMB: Graham test rode the Katana and made a great article about it with lots of background info: https://nsmb.com/articles/lal-katana/
The Katana combines an innovative suspension system, unmatched drivetrain durability, and a dialed ride feel. It has 150mm of front travel and 130mm of high-pivot rear travel. The front triangle is made of steel for stability and ride quality, and the swingarm is made of carbon for its low weight and high stiffness. With the Katana, we set out to build the ultimate all-mountain bike. It’s available for preorder now with a refundable deposit.
It has been a long journey from the moment that I invented the Supre Drive to now, revealing a cutting-edge mountain bike designed and built from the ground up for maximum performance and ride quality while also showcasing the potential of the Supre Drive. It has been awesome working with Alex and Jacob in the development of this frame. Alex is the mastermind behind the carbon fiber fabrication of the swing arm (rear triangle). The brain power that went into that part of the frame is huge. Jacob welded the front triangle and also CNC machined the rocker. I’m super proud of our team. This is a big milestone for us.
We’re fully committed to manufacturing the Katana and getting it in the hands of as many people as possible. If you’re curious, come visit us on the Sunshine Coast and take a Katana for a test ride. We highly recommend experiencing it for yourself.
Thanks so much to everyone who has supported and encouraged us in this journey.
