Individual test: Kore OCD handlebars/Durox stem/Ikon grips
For a long time, things were quiet around the founding brand. Now Kore is back on the market with a new line-up.
The all-mountain riser OCD comes in 800 mm extra length. We have shortened it to 740 millimetres, still a beater. With a rise of just 20 mm, it keeps the cockpit low and puts pressure on the front wheel. We fitted the 75 mm short Durox stem to match. The Ikon grips are thin but offer good grip. The decor on the handlebars is poorly finished and crumbles when first fitted.
