Kinesis UK brings a more affordable drop bar frame to the market with the Tripster AT Plus. Essentially an evolution of the Tripster AT and Titanium ATR. While they offer up clearance for 700c x 45mm, the new Plus frameset is boosted to 700c x 60mm, with a more capable geometry and bigger tire clearance to take on rougher, more adventurous gravel routes.
In line with its intended higher volume tires, Kinesis has lowered the BB a touch as compared to the AT and ATR, and given the AT Plus a more sloping top tube for improved standover.
