Kxl is a brand of bicycle components and parts including cranksets, pedals, and more. Kxl was founded in 2009 by David Huang and James Yu, who wanted to make a better bike for themselves. They wanted a bike that had more power and control. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, the founders of Kxl said that they wanted to create a "nice relaxing ride" as opposed to a "punishing ride." In their first year of business, they made 100 units of their first product, a crankset. In 2015, Kxl expanded to the United States and has been growing ever since. Kxl's components and parts have been featured in many cycling magazines such as Bicycling Magazine and The New York Times. Kxl's light weight is a key feature of their cranksets due to their use of steel. Their use of steel also makes them durable which makes them perfect for long distance riding.
