FOR 2012 WE'VE PUSHED THE BOUNDARY EVEN FURTHER ! ...MASSIVELY UPGRADED SPEC, MORE AERO, LIGHTER, STUNNING NEW AERO WHEEL OPTIONS. AND WE'LL EVEN INCLUDE A FREE POWER ANALYSIS SESSION WHEN YOU COLLECT YOUR BIKE !
******** WITH FREE UPGRADE TO 3T AURA CARBON AERO BARS *********
For 2012 we have again teamed up with the best names in the business - to fulfill the simple of objective of equipping the K~Foil with the most aerodynamic, most high-performing, most adjustable and most sought-after components on the market. The K~Foil is in its 4th incarnation now and we keep introducing carefully considered new developments as we go.
Our standard model now includes Ultegra 6700 groupset (with SRAM and Campag options too!) Add to this bars by the best designers and manufacturers in the aero business, and wheel specs to die for, we bring you our class-leading TT/Tri bike.
The thinking behind the bars typifies our philosophy: They look amazing, they perform better, and everything down to the shape of the extension can be custom specced at no extra cost - you can have s-bends, single bends, or even double bends - and we'll ensure you get the right one for you!!
We've also added SRAM and Campagnolo build options to ensure that we are able to offer the most bespoke service available! See drop down menu's for our superb prices!
To our workhorse K1 deep section wheels we add upgrade options of Reynolds carbon wheels as used by Michaei Hutchinson British TT champion. We can even build with the Dugast Tub's Hutch uses. We have also now secured a supply of Gipiemme Tecno 40.5 mm aero alloy wheels direct from Gipiemme in Italy. These are the most affordable deep section wheels on the planet and they are incredible.
Now to business!: There's a lot of overblown nonsense talked about aero bikes. We know you know this too. Our vision is always about cutting through this to design, build, spec and fit beautiful bikes that really do deliver what riders want and need. No silly names and no silly claims on our bikes. What makes a Kinetic-One unique though is so much more.. and its pretty simple too when you think about it. We are not just selling a bike. Your bike will be built to fit you specifically - based on a free professional bike fitting session. Click to see more about our professional bike fittings. Join us at the cutting edge!
Then once it's ready (21 days from point of order normally - a little longer if we're incredibly busy) we do the best bit........ We will work with you to establish your optimal riding position on the bike. Your bodies relationship with your bike is best understood as an interconnecting Kinetic chain (from feet and legs and pelvic position and ultimately arms and shoulders - everything depends on everything else - thats the key to great positioning and thats what we'll help you to achieve on your new bike). And all this is included in the price you pay for the bike!
The Bike
- Is a superb piece of engineering. Optimal 76 degree geometry, super rigid and super light its designed to perform. Carbon technology has enabled massive progress in the last few years and its so exciting to be able to work with such phenomenal equipment. We enjoy what we do!
- It is a beautiful piece of bike design. Gorgeous flowing lines and exquisite finish mean that form and function are harmonised
- Built to fit you based on precise determination of your body dimensions
- It is superbly aerodynamic. You may have seen that we actually carry out lots of our work in wind tunnels so no empty-headed marketing slogans from us on this point! We could even take you to a wind tunnel test on your new Kinetic-One bike if you wanted to take your riding to the absolute max! (that bits extra of course)! Click here for more info
- We'll discuss every element of the spec with you - right down to gear ratio choices and tub or tyre pressures. We get a bit annoyed when big brands charge you thousands for a bike and won't even mention these sorts of things!
The Frameset
The fuselage consists of a stunning MonoCoque Nano Tech Toray T700 carbon frame coupled with a full carbon bladed seat post and stunning monocoque aero forks with carbon steerer and carbon crown. The MonoCoq CARBON TT Tri fuselage fuses classic timeless design with world leading technology and materials. We put our reputation firmly behind it!

- From the bladed head tube designed to cut through the air, to somem of the most innovative cable routing you’ll find on any bike.
- From the wheel hugging frame cut-outs (front and rear) to the superbly stiff and beautiful bladed oversized stays.
- From the incredibly lightweight high modulus carbon (the best type of carbon for bikes - with the highest tensile strength and modulus of elasticity) to the beautiful and ultra-durable finish.
- It's 76 degree seat angle is pitched to maximise the aero positioning of the rider whilst at the same time ensuring that upper and lower leg muscle recruitment is optimised. This means that its geometry is perfectly specified for time triallists and multi-sport athletes alike.
- The frame architecture achieves the triple objectives of weight saving, aero performance and rigidity to an extent that we only dreamed of just a few short years ago.
- The oversized Bottom Bracket shell ensures massive rigidity at the part of the bike that needs it most as that’s where the body’s power is converted into drive. It also conceals one of the innovations we’re most excited about: There is no external cabling under the bottom bracket shell. This means there’s no messy and “drag†enhancing cable guides and nuts and bolts and barrels etc! How is this possible? Simple really: The front and rear gear cabling is internal all the way to the mechs themselves, so no need for any external cabling. The rear mech gear cable runs right inside the chain stay ! It emerges only at the last possible moment to connect to the rear mech. Its just one of the many innovations that come as standard on this lovely frame.
- Available in sizes to suit riders from 5ft 4" to 6ft 4". Due to the precise nature of fit requirements of tt / tri bikes we would ask you to contact us to identify the correct frame size for you.
