“Kinesis has delivered a sprightly, comfortable yet exciting ride with plenty of versatility at a price that’s hard to beat.”
The long-distance ambitions of the bike are also reflected in its geometry, very much in sportive territory.
The tall head-tube gives a quite upright riding position; the long chain stays lengthen the wheelbase and add a dose of stability.
…. the steering response lively rather than sedate, but it’ll still track perfectly when you’re pedalling briskly.
Give it some real beans though, and the GranFondo responds through tight turns or when you’re flashing through traffic, the steering never feeling anything other than composed.
The slim tubes not only provide the look of steel, but they deliver a ride that’s similar to the ferrous metal.
Over broken tarmac the Kinesis feels lively, almost buoyant, at normal riding speeds and without any jarring..
The frame is designed to accommodate 28mm tyres, or 25mm tyres with mudguards, and has Tektro mid-drop brakes to cope with the extra reach.
The bike comes with mudguards, but we left them off in the dry. There are also fittings for a rack, which adds versatility, opening the GranFondo up to touring and commuting.
