The Kinesis Aithein is the fastest bike in the Kinesis line-up. This premium aluminium race frame is faster, more comfortable, and more fun, making it the perfect choice for racing the local crit, club sportives, or winning sprints for the line. Using advanced aluminium construction techniques, a lightweight frame has been created that rivals carbon bikes. Thanks to Superplastic Forming (SPF), weight is minimized while stiffness and strength are maximized. This results in a high-performance frame that efficiently transfers rider energy into forward momentum.
Super Plastic Formed Alloy Frame
Constructed from tubes created with an advanced manufacturing technique named Superplastic Forming (SPF), which involves heating the alloy until it exhibits superplasticity, and then creating complex tube shapes using gas pressure.
Columbus Futura Road Disc Fork
T700S and HFM Carbon Fibre Monocoque construction, 45mm rake, 440g fork. Stiff with high vibration damping for a smooth ride.
30mm Tyre Clearance
Wider tyres offer more speed, more grip, and more comfort on real-world surfaces. The Aithein Disc takes up to 30mm tyres, allowing for the selection of the right tyre for specific riding conditions.
Kinesis Rider Fit Geometry
Geometry adjustments ensure a better fit across a greater range of rider dimensions. This results in more consistent handling across sizes, less toe overlap, and more intuitive sizing.
68mm Threaded Bottom Bracket
Threaded bottom brackets allow for the use of reliable, creak-free components that withstand year-round conditions.
Adaptable Cable Ports
Thanks to interchangeable cable entry points, riders can run exactly the routing needed, ensuring there are no excess holes into the frame.
Wireless Electronic / Mechanical / 2x / 1x Compatible
The Aithein frame is designed to work with mechanical and all wireless electronic groupsets.
