We collaborated closely with Kinesis ambassador Emma Osenton to develop a bike-packing MTB frame capable of enduring the most challenging of adventure rides. The result is the Fernweh.

A truly versatile frameset, the Fernweh is constructed from lightweight cold-drawn seamless 3Al/2.5V titanium tubing, offering both exceptional strength and rider comfort.

In 2018, Emma completed the demanding Grenzsteintrophy along the former East-West German border patrol track, an experience that significantly influenced this project. Emma played a crucial role in refining the frame design to ensure an optimal fit for the rider along with all the necessary gear. She also coined the name Fernweh, a German word that conveys 'a longing for far-off places.'

Our goal was to create a unique frameset that is rugged and dependable, yet as comfortable, efficient, and lightweight as possible. If the Fernweh were a car, it would be comparable to a Paris-Dakar rally car - capable of going anywhere, in any way. How far will you take yours?

Features

Titanium tubing — Cold drawn seamless 3Al/2.5V titanium tubing and machined headtube, for ultimate strength and rider comfort.
Choice of fork — Optional Columbus Futura Adventure carbon fork. This new fork is fitted with a ‘flip-chip’ to allow adjustment of the rake of the fork between 45mm and 50mm. It has 110mm Boost spacing, internal dynamo and brake hose routing, cargo mounts and clearance for 29 x 3” tyres.
Plenty of room for tyre choice — Dropped, flat chainstay yoke gives rear-end compliance and clearance for 29” Plus tyres.
Wheelset — 148 x 12mm Boost rear axle spacing is compatible with most modern MTB wheelsets.
Travel further afield — Multiple bottle and luggage mounts ensure that you can carry all the gear you need.
Seatpost — Dropper post compatible for when the terrain gets steep.
GW Switch Lever Thru Axles — Clean and simple design with a removable lever.
Attention to detail — Colour laser etched graphics ensure your ride stays looking fresh throughout its life.
