This totally new frame Kinesis Racelight, launched in March 2009, uses the latest technology. Kinesis have included Aero profile tubes and used the latest ‘SPF’ [Superplastic Formed] tubing technology for the top tube, down tube and wheel hugging, flared seat tube on the new Racelight KR-510
SPF is the modern version of ‘Hydroforming’, it uses far higher temps. to produce complicated shapes in thinner wall tubing than was possible with Hydroforming. The result is lighter weight tubing that can be formed to make the frame perform exactly as required.
Kinesis developed ‘Ultrasmooth Weld Technology’ joins the tubes and ‘Tuned carbon wishbone’ seat stays keep things responsive and help control road buzz at the back.
The aero tubes of the frame are perfectly complimented by the totally new RC05 carbon bladed fork, with it’s deep section profile and lightweight, machined dropouts.
The Kinesis Racelight KR-510 is an ideal basis for a super fast crit or road race and it won’t break the bank. It comes in white & red or white and steel grey as pictured. The frameset is excellent value for money as it comes with Kinesis RC05 forks, seatpost clamp and headset.
