The Kinesis R1 Road Bike is aimed at the cyclist craving simplicity, reliability and the capability a 1x drivetrain can offer: in short a bike they can just get on and ride and have fun.

With the MTB and Cyclocross bikes now firmly entrenched with 1x and the burgeoning Gravel scene going the same way, we’ve seen many road riders experimenting and using 1x Road setups, including many members of the KinesisUK Team. The R1 follows the success of the G2 complete gravel bike and is heavily influenced by our award-winning Kinesis RTD and 4S road frames. The R1 is a 1x road bike aimed at riders of all abilities and experiences.

The R1 is the perfect everyday road bike with an easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain drivetrain for the commute, quick spins into the countryside and a trip to the cafe. With this in mind, we have specified the R1 with true ride-anywhere gear ratios, more than enough for the steepest climbs and the fastest descent. The R1 is fitted with slightly wider handlebars than you would usually find on a road bike, and they also have a 10-degree flare. Wider bars give more ride control and capacity for bar bags which are very popular now, even on day rides. We’ve also built in room for a larger 30c tyre with full mudguards, and mounts for a pannier rack.

The R1 features our Kinesis Rider Fit Geometry to give better fit and more consistent handling for a wider range of riders. The smallest size has a semi-sloping top tube for greater seat post extension increasing the comfort. Longer reaches (recommended for use with shorter stems) mean there is less toe overlap on the smaller sizes and improves the handling on the larger sizes eliminating the need to run a long stem to achieve the correct fit.

Features

Premium Aluminium Frame: Lightweight double butted 6061 Alloy tube blend that delivers a light and responsive ride feel.

Carbon Fork: Custom full UD carbon fork keeps weight low and takes out road buzz whilst feeling direct and accurate at all times.

Groupset: Full SRAM Apex 11 speed groupset.

Brakes: Hydraulic SRAM Apex disc brakes are brilliantly reliable and handle the stopping duties with minimum effort.

Large Volume Tyres: Continental’s Grand Sport Race in 32c, hitting the sweet spot for grip, cornering and low rolling resistance.
