RTD - New Frame Colour and Features

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.

 As Damian Mason of Kinesis UK explains:
“Kinesis is the only frame manufacturer to use Super Plastic Forming (SPF) on alloy frames. While most manufacturers rely on hydroformed tubing, SPF allows us to create lighter tubes with more complex shapes, resulting in a frameset that is both lighter and stiffer.”
