About this product
The 2025 KHS Flight 280 is an extra-small (49cm) road bike designed for unisex adults. It features a lightweight alloy frame paired with a carbon fiber fork, rolling on 700C wheels with clincher tires. This bike is equipped with a 16-speed derailleur gear system and mechanical disc brakes for reliable stopping power. The drop bar handlebar and road bike shifter style underscore its performance-oriented road cycling design, making it a suitable option for smaller riders seeking a modern road bike.
Our take
The 2025 KHS Flight 280 looks like a solid choice for a smaller rider getting into road cycling. The combination of an alloy frame and carbon fork is a good balance, offering a lighter front end for better handling and vibration damping. I appreciate the modern touch of mechanical disc brakes, which are a big step up from rim brakes in terms of all-weather performance. With 16 speeds and 700C wheels, it's well-equipped for various road conditions. The XS 49cm frame size is great for those who often struggle to find a proper fit.
