Looking for the ideal all-seasons frameset to build up your perfect new all-road bike? The Kinesis 4S frameset is a thoroughly modern aluminium road frameset designed for those who seek a balance between speed and adventure and a traditional silhouette. Kinesis Uk has taken their acclaimed Kinesis R1 frameset and worked hard to improve every detail to improve every ride.
The all-new 4S frameset features the same proven frame and fork as the highly praised, group test-winning R1 bike which Cycling Plus magazine proclaimed had "Understated class and excellent ride quality" and BikeRadar.com said had "instant zing when pressing the pedals". The lightweight double-butted premium 6061 aluminium tube blend provides a responsive ride feel, and the impeccable weld quality and attention to detail ensure high standards. Additionally, the internal down tube cable routing keeps the bike clean and easy to service.
The custom full UD carbon fork reduces road buzz and offers precise handling, while the Kinesis Rider Fit Geometry ensures comfortable all-day rides. With four sizes to choose from, finding the perfect bike fit is made simple.
Evolution in Design
Two decades of frameset design have taught Kinesis Uk to never stand still and question everything they see and do, to make a better product for riders. What worked ten years ago may not be suitable for today's rider, so these framesets are constantly evolving. This has led to the new Kinesis Rider Fit Design process, a semi-sloping frame on the smallest bike, which has not only reduced the stand-over height but has also brought comfort in line with larger models. Short chain-stays alongside this revised position give the new 4S outstanding road bike characteristics.
