Dawes says

The Karakum features a lightweight alloy frame and chromoly fork. Distinctive because of its butterfly handlebars, it offers unrivalled comfort with multi riding positions on those long tours. A roll call of quality components consist of Shimano Deore 27 speed gears, Shimano hubs, Shimano V-brakes, Schwalbe Silento II tyres and an ultra comfy Selle Italia FLX Gel saddle.
