In addition to a frame with a slightly more comfortable riding position and a long wheelbase, this has always included fixed mudguards and a pannier rack that can carry loads of 20 kilos and more. We attach another classic to it: the waterproof Bike-Tourer panniers from Ortlieb, in which you can store a lot of mobile household goods in an organised and dry way. If necessary, the whole thing can be combined with a handlebar bag and a small rucksack, and there's even room for a tent and sleeping bag on the pannier rack. This means you can get quite a long way if you are completely self-sufficient - provided the bike holds up. Wide 27-millimetre tyres allow you to take a dirt track when planning your tour, while modern gears with a wide gear range and LED lighting with hub dynamo make cycling trips more practical and comfortable than ever before.
With its titanium frame, Campagnolo's Chorus groupset, SON lighting system, Chris King headset and Brooks saddle, our Kocmo Randonneur is a classy bike, so €5,450 is no bargain. But this bike has what it takes to become a loyal companion for life.

* The frame set accounts for 40 per cent of the overall score and the equipment for 60 per cent. Individual grades are included in these evaluations, only some of which are printed for reasons of space. The grades are calculated up to the final grade with all decimal places; however, for the sake of clarity, all grades are given with rounded decimal places.
** Tested frame size greased.
*** Stack/reach: projected vertical/horizontal measurement from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the headset; STR (stack to reach): Values between 1 .45 and 1 .55 indicate a sporty riding position, values below are race-like, above are comfortable.
**** Adjusted weight for frame size 57 cm and fork steerer length 225 mm.
