Just pulled the trigger on this Kinesis

[macp]

Its a Kinesis Racelight T2.I wanted something light but fast with all the fixings to be able to attach a rack and mudguards(this model has them fitted as standard).Its fitted with Look pedals,never been clipped in before so will have to budget for shoes.

I recently took delivery of a kinesis tripster. I had never heard of the brand until a short time ago. I was very impressed so I hope you enjoy yours like I do mine!

I've just got an Aithein and absolutely love it! Kinesis are really putting out amazing bikes at the moment.

What does it ride like on the road do those forks soak up much ?

Great bikes, I've got a Crosslight and a Maxlight and our youth has a Crosslight, all of which get raced on.

I think my forks are different, the Kinesis own brand ones, in general ride is nice especially v what I thought an Al bike was going to be

I haven't had a chance to take a picture of it yet.
Fantastic ride though, very stable, stuff and fast. Not uncomfortable in the slightest. I love it

Just found out mine has the 12k Racelight carbon fork.Will be interesting to see how it feels in comparison to alu.Its also been fitted with full Shimano 105 groupset and Mavic wheels.
