Kinesis GTD Titanium Frameset - Silver - 51cm

Product Description

Kinesis UK are proud to announce the arrival of the GTD frameset. This titanium frame is the natural evolution of our multi award winning GF-Ti frameset, the ultimate Gran Fondo bike. The Kinesis GTD is not just a Sunday best bike, it is the perfect Audax or fast paced touring bike. Comfortable, fast & adaptable the GTD is designed to take on everything from a local Sportive to an Intercontinental race epic like the TCR.

Features: For the Kinesis GTD frameset we have drawn on our years of experience working with titanium to create a new custom drawn 3 Al/2v seamless tubeset from one of the leading titanium suppliers. The GTD features the same fast, yet comfortable geometry as its predecessor, the GF_ Ti Disc. However it now has increased tyre clearance, Thru Axle front & rear, & an overall lower frame weight. Our experience shows at the rear of the GTD where we’ve curved the seat stays giving a beautifully compliant rear end, whilst we’ve straightened the chain stays to stiffen the frame laterally. We’ve been able to do this with the use of Flat Mount disc brakes which are more compact & fit in board of the stays. The GTD features 12mm Thru Axles front & rear, using our exclusive Tracer Disc Thru Axle carbon monocoque fork. In our search for improvement over the GF_ Ti we have partnered with GW engineering & will use their patented ‘ Switch Lever’ featuring a removable lever, giving the GTD a much cleaner, less cluttered look. As with our other frames, the GTD uses adaptable cable ports which means that you can build your frame with exactly the right cable routing for whether you are running Di 2 or mechanical gearing with either a 1x or 2x set up. The frame has the full compliment of bottle mounts, rack mount, mudguard mounts & a chain pip on the seat stay, details to make riding & travelling with your bike better. We’ve integrated the replaceable rear derailleur hanger into both the Thru Axle & the dropout of the frame. This increases the rigidity of the rear hanger, without compromising its ability to break away in an emergency, giving you the tight & precise shifting your derailleur demands. The custom dropouts are CNC machined from solid billet titanium & feature a discreet Di 2 routing hole, for super clean cable routing.
