Kinesis Crosslight Evo 3 Frame 08 - £479.99

The ultimate cross frame strengthens its dominance this season with 'Carbon/Kinesium/Easton Hybrid' frame construction, 'Ergo' top tube, lighter smaller down tube, greater size range, and detail changes designed to perfect this already excellent cross frame.

The 'Hybrid' frame construction optimises frame performance by matching construction material to specific frame area. The lightweight, 'PropulsionCrosstay' carbon wishbone gives class beating tyre clearance, whilst adding lateral stiffness and compliance to the rear triangle.

The new 'Ergo' top tube is formed from Kinesium, this tubing has built a reputation for lightweight coupled to durability, responsiveness and superb ride quality. The tube has been lightened and re-profiled, making it more comfortable for carrying over longer distances, it is also wider where it meets the seat tube, helping to resist twisting forces along the front triangle.

The down tube and seat tube are 'Easton Ultralite Taperwall', this tubing is super durable and lightweight with an unparalleled racing heritage. This season we have used a newer, lighter and smaller diameter down tube, to once again help picking up and carrying, it is ovalised where it meets the BB and head tube for maximum weld area and stiffness.

All the cable routing is on the RHS of the frame for smooth changing and carrying and the rear mech. cable clips neatly out of the way on the wishbone.

AStay: An oversize drive side chainstay enhances acceleration and helps get the power down when out of the saddle. The aStay system allows us to keep the back end light without compromising response and stiffness.
