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?

Want some compliant forks to complete the Fernweh look, and further the comfort available from the Fernweh frame? Check out the Fernweh Forks, designed especially for the Fernweh frame.
