An all-new, fast, gravel frameset from Kinesis. The GX Race combines the speed and agility of our race winning CX Race frameset, with the strength and capability of our award winning Tripster AT frameset. With our new race inspired gravel geometry, you are more aerodynamic in the drops or the hoods of the GX Race. A longer reach allows for shorter stems to be used and better off-road handling at high speed. If your riding extends to swift bike packing trips, then you can still load this bike up to reach destinations faster. We have matched our GX Race premium alloy frame with the all-new Columbus Futura Cross Plus full carbon monocoque fork. The Futura Cross Plus features cargo mounts, internal dynamo cable routing, masses of tyre clearance and adjustable offset, all wrapped up in a lightweight package. The GX Race uses adaptable cable ports, allowing you to build your frame with exactly the right cable routing, whether you're running wireless, Di2 or mechanical 2x or 1x gearing. As with other framesets, Kinesis have partnered with GW Engineering and are supplying the GX Race frame with their patented ‘Switch Lever’ lightweight hollow thru axles with a removable lever. Features: Tough yet lightweight 6069 series tubeset with tapered machined headtube. All new colour matched Columbus Futura Plus carbon fork with 12mm Thru-Axle. Inboard Shimano Flat-Mount disc mounts on frame and fork (maximum 160mm rotors). Seat stay mounts for mudguards and pannier racks. Bridges on chain stay and seat stay for fender mounting, runs 40mm tyres with full mudguards for clean winter riding! 700c x 45mm tyre clearance / 650b x 50mm tyre clearance. 2 x bottle boss mounts with multi position points plus top tube mounts for secure fixing of a top tube bag. Headset, Thru-Axles, seat clamp and all cable guides included. Internal cable routing for mechanical and electronic gear systems. BSA threaded BB for real world low maintenance riding.

The finest rim brake Dual Control Levers on the market, Dura-Ace ST-R9250 offer 12-speed shifting with refined ergonomics and is exceptionally lightweight. Dura-Ace ST-R9250 Dual Control Levers are the ultimate in reliable performance thanks to a Di2 electronic wired gear connection and lightweight rim brakes. Refined ergonomics and advanced materials show the racing pedigree of these levers. Shimano E-Tube E-Tube is Shimano's “service” that uses websites or apps to maximize the enjoyment of riding a bicycle by connecting the riders, the bicycles and Shimano. Shimano's genuine application E-Tube Project for Mobile allows you to customize your bike, update firmware, and maintain it by connecting it wirelessly to your bike. You can also get more detailed bike maintenance by connecting to your bike by wire with E-Tube Project via the Windows V4 application. Shimano DCL Dual Control Lever DCL stands for Dual Control Lever. It has brake and shifting functions in the system and enables easy operation. Ergonomic innovation is as critical to higher standard performance as the added gearing. The shift internals borrows the robustness from Shimano's MTB technology and is so smooth and effortless that one finger shifts front and rear are possible. Indeed, shifting is the ultimate act of Shimano Total Integration and simply has to be experienced to be understood.
Shimano Dura-Ace R9270 C36 Carbon CL Disc WheelThe Dura-Ace R9270 C36 Carbon CL Disc Wheel from Shimano is a Tubeless Ready mid-depth-profile wheel that's versatile for steep climbs, fast sprints and long days in the saddle. It features a 36mm-profile full-carbon rim and a Centre Lock disc rotor mount while being compatible with 12mm E-Thru axles, this race-ready wheel is fast, aerodynamic and stable for road racing anywhere.With stunning acceleration, the new Dura-Ace R9270 C36 wheelset will change the way you experience climbs, corners, even stoplights. This is because it isn't just how much a wheel weighs but where the weight is on the wheel that matters. The all-new C36 design shaves mass at every opportunity but especially at the rim. The result is a lively wheelset that can transform your ride. Lighter, Wider and Faster Carbon Road Race WheelWith both a lighter, wider all-carbon rim and a lighter hub, the new Dura-Ace C36 won't shy away from a day of climbing. The new rim is 36 mm deep and still delivers good aerodynamic efficiency despite its gossamer weight. Meanwhile, the hub features an alloy freehub body and a new engagement mechanism for increased rigidity. Centre-Lock Disc Rotor MountThe Centre Lock system makes an easy rotor installation possible with a spline mount and a lock ring. The lock ring mounting system reduces the total working hours by shortening the amount of time of both installation and de-installation. In addition, the secure fixing by the spline mount enhances precision and rigidity while improving braking efficiency. D2 Aerodynamic Rim ProfileAerodynamic performance is affected by wind direction. To create the D2 rim, Shimano engineers considered both frontal and crosswinds, aiming to achieve optimal performance in real-world riding conditions. Extensive prototype testing, in the wind tunnel and on the road, proved that a wide rim shape with a deep tire bed performs best across a wide range of conditions. At yaw angles ranging from 0 to 15 degrees, the Shimano D2 rim profile reduces air drag better than others aero shape rims. This rim design also boosts lateral wheel stiffness and offers improved vertical compliance for increased control, comfort and durability on the road. Rear Wheel OPTBAL Spoke SystemThe OPTBAL rear wheel spoke system features 21 spokes—14 on the drive side and 7 on the non-drive side. Cassette spacing in today's wheels produces unbalanced tension in traditional 1:1 spoke systems. This unbalance is intensified with the 11-speed cassette, producing nearly double the tension on the drive side spokes. Generally, high and low tension spokes have respectively tendency toward breaking down and coming loose spoke nipples. Unbalanced tension affects durability and strength. The OPTBAL design rebalances spoke tension, enhancing wheel rigidity and strength for a more durable wheel. Shimano E-Thru Axle SystemThe tool-less type thru-axle skewer system optimizes rigidity and weight balance and enables easy operation with a reliable internal cam mechanism. The 15 mm thru-axle system is 15% stiffer torsionally and 25% stiffer in transverse shear than a traditional 9 mm quick release front axle system. High rigidity is secured while keeping the optimum weight balance. The E-Thru axle hub system minimizes the distortion of suspension while maintaining lightweight for riding around sharp corners at high speed.
