A devastating 'cross set up. Kinesis never stop developing their frames and their ultimate 'cross frame strengthens it's dominance this season with a competition proven 'Carbon/Kinesium/Easton Hybrid' frame construction and fully re-profiled 'Ergo2' top tube.
The 'Hybrid' frame construction optimises frame performance by matching construction material to specific frame area. The lightweight, 'PropulsionCrosstay' carbon wishbone gives class beating tyre clearance, whilst adding lateral stiffness and compliance to the rear triangle.
Key Features:
- The new 'Ergo2' top tube is formed from Kinesium, this tubing has built a reputation for lightweight coupled to durability, responsiveness and superb ride quality.
- The tube has been lightened and re-profiled, making it even more comfortable for carrying over longer distances often found in European 'cross racing. It is wider and deeper where it meets the seat tube, helping to resist twisting forces along the front triangle.
- The down tube and seat tube are 'Easton Ultralite Taperwall', this tubing is super durable and lightweight with an unparalleled racing heritage.
- The down tube is lighter and smaller diameter, to once again help picking up and carrying, it is ovalised where it meets the BB and head tube for maximum weld area and stiffness.
- Cable routing for the rear derailleur and brake is on the RHS of the frame for smooth changing and carrying and the rear mech. cable clips neatly out of the way on the wishbone.
- An oversize drive side chain stay enhances acceleration and helps get the power down when out of the saddle.
- The aStay system allows us to keep the back end light without compromising response and stiffness.
