Kinesis RTD Frameset in Pepper Red

Season:2026

Brand:Kinesis Uk

Code:K-FR-003FSRTDPepper

The Kinesis RTD is an endurance aluminium road bike frameset designed for versatility across cities, counties, and continents. Whether for daily commuting, club runs, bikepacking, or long-distance events like the Transcontinental Race, the RTD is built to perform.

The geometry has been refined to balance responsiveness and stability, ensuring predictable handling whether riding unloaded or fully packed. Constructed from advanced 6069 aluminium alloy using Super Plastic Forming (SPF) technology, the frameset achieves a lightweight and stiff profile that rivals carbon performance while offering superior durability and value. The frame design incorporates an oversized down tube, flared top tube, and tapered head tube for a precise front end, while flattened seatstays and a slim seat tube introduce tuned rear-end compliance for long-distance comfort.

Designed as an all-conditions, four-season platform, the RTD features updated geometry, internal dynamo cable routing, and head tube cable integration for a clean aesthetic and improved performance. The frameset is completed with a full carbon monocoque fork and is compatible with multiple bottle cage mounts and full mudguards.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Advanced Aluminium Construction: Utilises Super Plastic Forming (SPF) on 6069 aluminium alloy to create complex tube shapes that are both lighter and stiffer than standard hydroformed alternatives.
  • Integrated Cable Routing: Features fully integrated gear and brake cable routing through the head tube, providing a clean aesthetic and allowing for adaptable configurations for mechanical or electronic drivetrains in 1x or 2x setups.
  • Versatile Endurance Geometry: Meticulously refined geometry provides a balance of stability and responsiveness, making the frame suitable for everything from fast road riding to long-distance bikepacking adventures.
