2021 Brother Cycles Kepler + Steel and Carbon Gravel Forks

Brother Cycles just announced an updated version of their Kepler Disc frameset, which was designed with versatility in mind, whether that means a steel all-road bike, super capable commuter, or gravel bikepacking rig. Pre-orders for the 2021 model are open as of this morning. Find details on that, followed by information on their new Carbon Gravel Fork and Steel Gravel Fork below.

2021 Brother Cycles Kepler

The Brother Cycles Kepler is designed around a 4130 Chromoly Steel frame, clearance for up to 700 x 45mm or 650 x 48m tires, and 68mm threaded bottom bracket. The frame can handle front and rear racks, fenders, and has three bottle mounts for longer rides. For 2021, the Kepler now features flat mount brakes and the quick-release axles have been upgraded to thru-axles, which is great to see. The Kepler now has a replaceable derailleur hanger, s-shaped chainstays, and a unicrown steel fork. Besides that, not much else has changed, except for the fact that the Kepler is now available in a Pink Metallic paint job as well as the original Green Metallic.

The 2020 Brother Cycles Kepler costs £625 including VAT, or £520.83 for non-UK / EU customers. Pre-orders are live now at BrotherCycles.com. The 2021 Kepler completes are expected to be available next month.

Brother Cycles Steel Gravel Fork

Both join our growing list of forks with bottle cage mounts, or utility forks, which you can find here. The Steel Gravel Fork features triple pack mounts, clearance for 700c x 50mm / 650b x 2.4″ tires, flat mount brakes, and ships with a 12 x 100mm thru-axle. See specs below.
