First look: Koga-Miyata's 2010 Adaptor touring folder

Alu frameset designed around Gates carbon belt drivetrain

Koga-Miyata have launched the £1,249 Adaptor, a performance foldable touring bike with a Gates carbon-belt drivetrain.

The stem and seatpost, pedals and handlebars can be folded up in one simple movement, making the Adaptor compact enough to take with you in a car boot or train.

The aluminium frame is built around the Gates unique Carbon Drive System, meaning messy oily chains are traded for a super strong polyurethane belt. The carbon cords inside the patented Carbon Drive offer the necessary tensile strength to provide a smooth, clean and long lasting ride.

Cyclesense is the sole UK stockist for the Koga-Miyata Adaptor where it retails for £1,249 (€1,429.63 approx) and for Koga’s Signature range.
