Kinesis R1 Road Bike

Brand:Kinesis Uk

Code:1232GRY

The R1 is the latest complete bike from Kinesis UK, following on the success of the G2 complete gravel bike and heavily influenced by our award winning Kinesis RTD and 4S road frames. The R1 is a 1x road bike aimed riders of all abilities and experiences.

With the MTB and Cyclocross bikes now firmly entrenched with 1x and the burgeoning Gravel scene going the same way, we’ve seen many road riders experimenting and using 1x Road set ups, including many members of the Kinesis UK Team.

The R1 is aimed at the cyclist craving simplicity, reliability and the capability a 1x drivetrain can offer: in short a bike they can just get on and ride and have fun.

The R1 would make a great everyday road bike with an easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain drivetrain for their commute, their spins into the countryside and their trip to the cafe. With this in mind we have specified the R1 with true ride-anywhere gear ratios, more than enough for the steepest climbs and the fastest descent. The R1 is fitted with drop handlebars with slightly wider bars than you would usually find on a road bike, and they also have a 10 degree flare. Wider bars give more ride control and capacity for bar bags (bike packing) which are very popular now on day rides even. Plus plenty of room for your handlebar furniture (lights, GPS, bell, Phone bracket etc)

We’ve also specified room for up to 34c tyres (brand depending), or 30c tyres with full mudguards and mounts for a pannier rack. The R1 features our Kinesis Rider Fit Geometry to give better fit and more consistent handling for a wider range of riders. The smallest size has a semi sloping top tube for greater seat post extension increasing the comfort. Longer reaches (recommended for use with shorter stems) mean there is less toe overlap on the smaller sizes and improves the handling on the larger sizes eliminating the need to run a long stem to achieve the correct fit.

TEST WINNER

Cycling Plus - Wintry Wonders - Article

WE SAY...
"The Kinesis R1 is a great example of simplicity executed perfectly."

"This is yet another Kinesis frameset that’s ideally suited to typical British conditions."

BUY IF...
"You want a year-round, reliable workhorse that’s a lot of fun to boot."

THE VERDICT...
"Understated class, great practicality and excellent ride quality."

AND THE WINNER IS...
KINESIS R1
"Elegance and simplicity perfected."


"Our winner is – at the time of writing – the first Kinesis R1 in the UK. Based on its lively ride feel, up-to-date 1x drivetrain, simplicity and execution, it’s a deserved winner.
Riding year round in whatever the weather gods throw at you is hard enough, but the R1 feels fresh and a very capable and rewarding place to be."


BikeRadar
"You might think that a straight-tubed frame would feel a little dull, but the R1 has an instant zing when pressing the pedals."

"It’s an elegant frame with a tapered head-tube leading to pleasingly round main tubes and seatstays. The chainstays are subtly ovalised vertically and crimped for chainring clearance."

"The high 44×11 gear is equivalent to 52×13 and pedalling at 35mph doesn’t require more than a normal cadence. I didn’t find the gear jumps to be a problem, and there’s no ratio duplication."
