Sports. Racing. For mushing and off-road.
The KOSTKA TRIP MAX DOG (G7) footbike is built on large 29/27.5" wheels with solid axles and all-terrain tyres for maximum terrain clearance and stability. Experience a smooth and comfortable ride even on challenging terrain. Whether you're a professional musher or an enthusiastic amateur, the TRIP MAX DOG (G7) will give you optimal handling and comfort so you can fully enjoy every moment of your ride. The frame is fitted with lugs for attaching a leash and shock absorber (included), this positioning provides better force distribution when being pulled by the dog.
The KOSTKA TRIP MAX DOG G7 design has been carefully engineered with the needs of mushers in mind, all with an emphasis on combining elegance with high performance. The development of the footbike was done in collaboration with professional Mushers and riders who participate in extreme off-road races. This footbike has successfully completed the 2020-mile Adventure race.
Hybrid technology. Rigid. Lightweight. Vibration damping.
Our extremely advanced and durable frame is designed for natural vibration damping, combined with the new KOSTKA AERO fork made from aerospace grade aluminium, creating the perfect combination of stiffness, vibration damping and maximising acceleration at the same time. The result is a 35% reduction in front end weight, providing a faster and smoother riding experience with every bounce. Aerodynamic drag is minimised thanks to the sleek drop profile design.
A frame with increased stiffness, based on a time-tested design, offering perfect handling characteristics together with an unforgettable riding experience. The drop-shaped main frame profile provides excellent aerodynamic properties and has also become an integral part of the typical KOSTKA footbike look. Increased rider space, optimal rigidity and elegant lines are the basic elements of the new generation frame.
The integrated stand hole, front brace, special welds to increase the frame's stiffness and resistance to contact with uneven ground are already a standard we are rightly proud of. To increase your comfort, we have built the footbike on a tapered frame concept with a 65mm wide hub. This solution, together with the recessed rear wheel axle, prevents the rebound leg from contacting the footbike, which positively affects the overall riding comfort. The stainless steel adhesive elements on the top of the footplate ensure long-lasting footboard life and anti-slip properties.
Thru axles. New standard.
The new KOSTKA 12mm thru axles provide increased torsional and longitudinal stiffness and stability. KOSTKA's unique system of removable floating KOSTKA Mag Ends at the rear of the frame ensure a precise wheel fit and are another identical feature. Thanks to the solid connection you get higher strength and stiffness of the construction, which means better handling and durability of the frame with the fork.
A jewel-like stem.
The new lightweight milled Kostka SK 3250 Z2 stem made of lightweight high-strength aluminium alloy features a unique solution for quick mounting of accessories such as panniers, leash holders and other accessories. Through optimization, we were able to achieve a weight reduction of 15%. We've laser engraved our message on the stem so you'll always know where your footbike was born.
Wheels and hubs. With low rolling resistance.
Our hub design was developed with high functionality and easy maintenance in mind. The innovative floating fit of high-quality, low friction Japanese bearings ensures precise clearance definition and therefore no complicated hub adjustments are required. Easy removal of the hub ends allows for easy maintenance. The direct knitting with Sapim stainless steel spokes guarantees high rigidity.
When tyres matter.
Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres are versatile MTB tyres with the widest range of applications. Versatile tyres that work in every situation, regardless of weather and terrain. Enlarged gaps between the blocks for better self-cleaning and excellent braking and traction thanks to the special arrangement of the center studs guarantee absolute control over the footbike pulled by your four-legged partner. The choice of tyres is one of the main aspects of a comfortable and effortless ride on footbikes.
Driving that will thrill you.
Thanks to the 720 mm wide handlebars, you can achieve perfect handling even in the most demanding conditions. The handlebars dampen the micro-vibrations generated when riding. The new semi-integrated headset ensures an even more rigid and precise fit of the fork in the frame.
It's safe.
High-quality SHIMANO hydraulic disc brakes together with double-wall rims with reinforced wall and 160 mm discs guarantee maximum safety and precise dosage of braking force Ergonomic levers provide perfect comfort. The integrated brake hose routing in the frame ensures perfect protection.
The rear heel stop ensures a firm and accurate standing leg position. It is made by milling from high-strength aluminium alloy. Use is found when bouncing or elevating the footbike foot when negotiating obstacles such as curbs. Its shape is optimized for all types of footwear. It can also be completely removed. The heel stop extends the tread surface and increases the space for the rider, making it a little easier to bounce and change feet.
