Kinesis Crosslight Framesets

Key specification points:

For 2016 the most adaptable frame in the Kinesis UK range is now available in disc format. It features eyelets to allow the fitment of mudguards, a rack and bottles and the generous stays provide clearance for tyres up to 40mm, making this a great frame suited to all day adventures to transcontinental epics. In addition it has eyelets to allow the fitment of mudguards, a rack, two bottles and up to a 40mm tyre allowing longer range use from a day out to a transcontinental epic. Its not supposed to be a Jack of all trades, but it is designed to be practical and adaptable, as well as FAST. The Custom designed Kinesium tubeset is optimised for this model giving a balance of toughness and stiffness at the lowest possible weight. We have updated the frame with the new Shimano flat mount which tucks the disc caliper neatly inboard out of harm's way. Hose routing is also now internal, de-cluttering the frame and keeping it out of the way when carrying the bike. Also new for this season is provision for Shimano Di2 wiring with ports for front and rear mechs. Features: Tough yet lightweight Kinesium tubeset with tapered headtube and CXd 500g, full UD carbon monocoque, 1-1/81. 5 taper-steerer disc fork. Fork is eyeleted at dropouts and rear of crown and has a hose clip on rear of LHS blade and features the post mount standard caliper mount. Ergo2' profiled top tube for comfortable carrying. Oversized Kinesium down tube without the bulky mud collecting depth of other frames. The head tube length is relatively short to help with the steep climbs encountered on CX courses. Disc mount Inboard Shimano Flat-mount on frame with post mount adapter included. Additional Info Both bearings are ACB, meaning Angular Contact Bearings. The head-tube seat angle is 45. The headset drops into a tapered seat in the head tube and is tensioned using a headset tensioner within the fork steerer. Tensioning the headset centres it on the taper and prevents any play. The larger lower bearing allows a tapered steerer and larger crown. This gives sharper response and helps reduce flex under braking. FORK RECOMMENDATION: CC, Unidirectional UD carbon fork with post mount, mudguard eyelets and hose clip. Included. KINESIS 7005 DOUBLE BUTTED: Our 7005 alloy tubing is 5-10 stronger than 6061 tube, by most measures. Double-butted tubes are specially drawn so that they are thicker at the ends of the tubes, where they are welded and stresses are highest, and thinner in the middle to minimize weight. aStay: Unique to our CX frames, an oversize driveside chainstay allows us to keep the back end light and stiff without the need for a mud collecting bridge.
