Kinesis 4S Disc Road Frameset
Looking for the ideal all-seasons frameset to build up your perfect new all-road bike? The Kinesis 4S frameset is a thoroughly modern aluminium road frameset designed for those who seek a balance between speed and adventure and a traditional silhouette.
The 4S frameset features the same proven frame and fork as Kinesis's highly praised, group test-winning R1 bike which Cycling Plus magazine proclaimed had "Understated class and excellent ride quality" and BikeRadar.com said had "instant zing when pressing the pedals". The lightweight double-butted premium 6061 aluminium tube blend provides a responsive ride feel, and the impeccable weld quality and attention to detail ensure high standards. Additionally, the internal down tube cable routing keeps the bike clean and easy to service.
The custom full UD carbon fork reduces road buzz and offers precise handling, while the Kinesis Rider Fit Geometry ensures comfortable all-day rides. With four sizes to choose from, finding the perfect bike fit is made simple.
Features
- Lightweight Frame: Lightweight double-butted 6061 aluminium tube blend that delivers a light and responsive ride feel.
- Full Carbon Fork: Custom full UD carbon fork keeps weight low and takes out road buzz whilst feeling direct and accurate at all times.
- Evolution in design: Two decades of frameset design have taught Kinesis to never stand still and question everything and do, to make a better product for riders – what worked ten years ago may not be suitable for today's rider.
- The perfect fit: This has led Kinesis to a Rider Fit Design process, a semi-sloping frame on the smallest bike, which has not only reduced the stand-over height but has also brought comfort in line with there larger models. Short chain-stays alongside this revised position give the 4S outstanding road bike characteristics.

Geometry Information
MrBBeautifully finished frame/fork. Similarly complimented by my LBS (who have faced/installed a BB for me). Not ridden yet - only half way through build - but expecting a much quieter experience than the creaky all-carbon frameset that this is replacing
