Kinesis Tripster ATR Ti V2 Titanium Frame - 51cm

Product Description

‘ATR’ stands for Adventure. Tour. Race. Use the Kinesis Tripster ATR for adventure cycling, distance racing, touring, sportives or cyclocross. With the original Tripster ATR back in 2012, we were an early mover in the trend towards a more capable, adventure focused; drop barred off road bike & it quickly became one of the most popular framesets we’ve ever produced. They’ve been much loved companions on roads & trails from Kingston upon Thames to Kazakhstan as they proved an almost perfect choice for exploring, fast & far. Since the launch of the original model, we’ve taken extensive feedback from our customers & ambassadors as well as noticed that many people are increasing the amount of technical riding they’re doing on drop barred bikes. In developing the Tripster ATR v 2 we’ve kept all of the best features of the old bike but taken the capability up to a new level. We’ve enhanced the strength of the bike through a new custom tube set, increasing the gauge on the down tube & flattened off the base of the top tube. This allows frame bags to sit more securely or to make it more comfortable for you to shoulder the bike for longer carrying sections of any adventure. We’ve also changed the rear triangle to include a Shimano flat mount tucked out of the way on the chain stay along with through axle compatibility. For flexibility we’ve developed a switchable drop out system allowing a choice of either 9 x 135 QR or 12 x 142mm through axle. The Tripster ATR v 2 now features internal routing with brake & shifter cables/hoses (and/or Di 2 wiring) inside the frame. This reduces the chance of muck & detritus getting into your cables, helping ensure you have crisp shifting regardless of the conditions. Also new is a 3rd bottle cage so you can securely carry even more on the bike using a caddy or fuel bottle for trekking across the Himalaya’s if you wish to. Tyre clearance has been increased to up 45mm tyres (or up to 40mm with mudguards) & it’s also possible to run 650B wheels with 2.0 MTB tyres as well, increasing choice & versatility. Whilst doing all of the above, we took the opportunity to revise the geometry, adjusting the bottom bracket height to increase off-road performance whilst ensuring the bike feels stable & planted at all times. This combined with the long top tube & slack head tube angle creates a package that excels with a shorter stem & wider bars. The new Tripster ATR v 2 will inspire you & give you the confidence to go the distance on every adventure. The Tripster ATR v 2 is now sold frame only to allow owners to pair it with the fork of their choice.

Features: Taper Head Tube: Machined from Ti billet. The 1.5? lower bearing allows a tapered fork steerer & larger crown. This gives sharper response & helps reduce flex under braking. Increased head tube dia. gives more weld area at the most highly stressed point. Ti 3AL/2.5V: An aerospace grade alloy, 94% titanium, 3% aluminium & 2.5% vanadium. This is one of the strongest alloys of titanium available in a seamless tube form. CWSR: ‘ Cold Worked Stress Relieved’ tubing. The tubing is shaped cold & then goes through a process to remove the stresses built up within the tube during forming. ‘ Anti Road Shock’ Seat Stays: The ‘hourglass’ bend, seat stays are shaped to give maximum comfort for long hours in the saddle. Shimano Flat Mount: Inboard disc caliper mount keeps the caliper out of the way of racks etc. Post mount 160 adapter included Switchable Dropouts: 12 x 142mm Through axle supplied, 10 x 135mm QR option Specifications: Di 2 ready Internal cable routing Shimano flat mount inboard rear disc caliper mount Multi dropout system; 12 x 142mm with through axle supplied [or 10 x 135mm QR option] Welded triple bottle cage & rack mounts Shoulder flat added for comfort when carried & stability of bike packing bags Welded rack & ‘guard mounts, triple bottle cage mounts.
