Kinesis says
Although there are many manufacturers jumping on the full carbon frame bandwagon, Kinesis International [in collaboration with Kinesis UK] have taken the time to develop their own unique and distinctive looking frame, and have not simply rushed another carbon clone onto the market. The KR-810 is a full monocoque design using super stiff 3k woven carbon. A monocoque frame does not use lugs that inevitably weaken and lead to frame failure. Monocoque construction ensures maximum stability, maximum reaction to force and maximum rigidity compared to classic glued or taped carbon fibre frames. Care has been taken to tune the characteristics of the carbon lay-up to ensure stiffness, stability and response where it is required and yet enough compliance for rider comfort. The super-stiff Kbox bottom bracket and A-Frame seatstays are examples of this approach. The geometry is semi-compact [slightly sloping top tube on larger sizes, more slope on the smaller sizes] with 5 sizes and the weight is just over 1kg [for the 47cm c/t frame without fork]. The frame is not 'over stretched' and the riding position is not too 'nose down' making it ideal for longer distance and sportive events. Kinesis have developed a specific 358g fork for this model the 'Tracer' with a unique forward facing blade design and advanced profile, developed to provide absolute stability in turns and under braking. The KR-810 was race condition tested for an entire season by the Kinesis UK team. We believe that this frameset offers the ultimate performance and value, race package but builds into a bike that gives comfort and position that is ideal for sportives. Price includes: Frame/Fork/Selcof Carbon seatpost/FSA Headset/Seat clamp.
