Kettler Bikes

Sam Salt

A friend is looking round for a new bike and there was an ad in the
weekend paper for Kettler.

A visit to their website showed very agreeable prices with most kit
seeming to be included.

They only appear to sell mail order and whilst not knowing the quality
of the construction,parts etc.,I wondered if anyone had any experience
of one.


The only perhaps downside ( admittedly only at first glance ) is that
they also seem to make/market lots of other things so are not a
dedicated bike firm.

We used to sell them occasionally. Kettler has been making aluminium
utility bikes for a long time, quality was always reasonable although
they were no lightweights.

Shimano makes fishing equipment, Kettler makes tubular things, many of
them with wheels. :-)

My kids had Kettler go karts. They were robust and did their jobs well.

The Kettler Alu-Rad appears to be a popular bike in Germany, FWIW.

They also manufacture a fairly popular repair stand:
