WATCH: RTD DREAM SETUP VIDEO
Apr 15, 2026
Everyone loves a new custom bike build - watch this Kinesis RTD road bike come to life, a complete step-by-step custom bike build, from box-fresh frame to finished machine. The new Kinesis RTD is the ultimate endurance aluminium road bike frameset. Built to be ridden hard and fast across cities, counties and continents, the RTD lives up to its name — Race The Distance — whether that’s the daily commute, a Sunday club run, fully loaded bikepacking, Audax riding or events such as The Transcontinental Race. We took a brand new frameset and our chief mechanic Nathan built one up here in the Upgrade Bikes / Kinesis workshop. Sit back and enjoy this new dream build road bike assembly ASMR project.
