Chiru has been designing and producing bicycles since 2009, often with ultra-endurance and adventure racing in mind. Chiru’s various models are designed from the ground up to tackle a specific event, usually tested by Chiru’s Founder and CEO, Pierre Arnaud Le Magnan; who placed third at the 2018 Silk Road Mountain Race (SRMR). Named after the first 4,000m pass on the SRMR route, the Chiru Kegeti is designed to be the ultimate ultra-endurance adventure bike. The Kegeti has seen some changes for 2020, so we’ve gathered up the most recent specs for anyone on the hunt for a new titanium endurance bike.
