Our flagship titanium road bike frameset is back, with a host of refinements for an even more unforgettable ride. No matter whether you are doing endurance races, century rides, or commuting in style, the GTD delivers pure riding joy on every single ride.
The GTD comes equipped for all conditions riding, because we believe the sublime ride of titanium shouldn’t be reserved for summer Sundays.
NEW Rider Fit Geometry
Redistributed sizing based around Stack and Reach measurements, with semi sloping frame on the smallest frames. This not only reduces the stand over height but also brings comfort in line with our larger models.
NEW Carbon Fork
Increased tyre, mudguard clearance and mounting point for a dynamo lamp.
NEW Revised BB Shell
Increased internal space to allow the use of 30mm axle cranks with Di2 internal routing.
NEW Improved Cable Routing
Provisions for full gear outer cable from the shifter to the rear derailleur. This protects against water and dirt ingress, preserving shifting performance for longer.
Curved seat stays
Maximises rear end compliance for vibration damping, whilst the straight chain stays stiffen the frame laterally for maximum power transfer.
12mm Thru Axle Front and Rear
Industry standard for maximum wheel security and bike stiffness. With a removable GW Switch Lever, giving a clean, elegant look.
Adaptable Cable Ports
Versatility with set up choice for any major groupset.
Abundance of mounts
Bottle mounts, rack mounts, mudguard mounts, for versatile all seasons riding.
Thru Axle Located Derailleur Hanger
Thru Axle locates through the hanger for maximum hanger rigidity, with no negative effect on deformation during impact.

Choosing the correct bike size for you depends on the type of bike your after, your height, your riding style, and your preference of fit.
A correct fitting bike will provide a more comfortable, more efficient and more fun ride.
The Kinesis bike size guide gives general advice on choosing the right size. It is a guide only and we always recommend visiting one of our stores, or contacting us via email, phone, or live chat if you have any doubts or questions. Please also consult the geometry chart of your existing bike so you can make comparisons to help ensure a good fit.
However there is no substitute for good old fashioned advice from your local bike shop, we have a list of dealers here and they will be able to help you with your sizing and bike setup prior to building it.

The GTD v2 is an excellent frameset. If this was my own bike it'd evolve throughout the seasons, taking on different roles at different times – it just feels so adaptable. If you want to ride fast, it'll do it, and not just in a compromised way – this is a properly fast bike. Meanwhile, if distance is your thing, the GTD just eats up the miles while you get as involved as you want to. And if you just want to enjoy the scenery, it will happily let you get on with it. The Kinesis GTD v2 is a future classic.
Verdict:
High quality frameset that delivers it all – comfort, performance and sweet handling – regardless of how you ride it.

“The Kinesis GTD is a rare example of a bike that is a master of all trades. It’s equally at home on fast group rides, solo tours, laden with luggage, commuting to work or on epic weekend excursions. It looks good too. The brushed-titanium finish is flawless, and the frame even sports a proper titanium head badge. A titanium bike is often described as one to ride for life. Well, Kinesis’ GTD V2 is a bike that will broaden your cycling life.”
“A titanium frame should last a lifetime and Kinesis’ stunningly finished take on the material is designed for year-round use.
The butted, custom-specified tube set is replete with fittings for mudguards, racks, a third bottle cage... covering you for just about every eventuality.”
