Kinesis KT-415 Time Trail Frameset 2012

Working with Kinesis International, we helped design the advanced KT-415 SPF time trial frameset. This frame showcases the latest ‘SPF’ [Superplastic Formed] tubing for it’s front triangle.

Using this advanced forming technique allows us to combine complicated aero tube shapes with thin wall, lightweight tubing. This has been hard to achieve by using standard Hydroforming techniques.

The SPF top tube is wide where it meets the head tube for stiffness and tapers down towards the deep aero section seat tube. The Seat tube takes full advantage of the new SPF technology, allowing it to hug the wheel more closely than the previous ‘KT-410’ frame.

The down tube has more of a ‘teardrop’ section than before and is wide where it meets the BB. Chainstays are now stiff, lightweight, alloy, and the seatstays are carbon. Included in price are the carbon aero seatpost and colour matched ‘Energy’ fork. Steel Grey with Silver/White/Red graphics.

The Kinesis is lightweight, especially considering the price. It also powers up seated climbs brightly and stays taut when you get out of the saddle
