Tripster AT Adventure Frameset


All Day. All Fun. All Terrain Gravel Adventure Bike Frameset

Now comes with Columbus Futura Cross+ Carbon fork!

£900.00

The brand new Kinesis Tripster AT gravel adventure bike frameset takes our years of experience gained with the now legendary Tripster ATR and our range of championship winning cyclocross bikes, to create an adventure bike capable of almost all terrains and adventures.

During the development of the Tripster AT all terrain frame we also worked closely with the late Mike Hall in the design process and gained from Mike’s knowledge and love of long distance, multi-terrain riding. The final production model features a number of enhancements thanks to Mike’s input and you can see this referenced on the frame graphics. Under Additional Info. tab is an email form Mike showing his input on the graphical styling of the Tripster AT.

The Kinesis Tripster AT All Terrain bike frame boasts cutting edge adventure bike features and versatility, allowing it to be built to excel across a variety of uses. Use it as a commuter bike, gravel bike, go bike packing, touring and ride bridleways on it, ride across continents on it. The new Tripster AT bike frameset will take all of this in its stride and more.

With through axles front and rear, clearance for 700c x 45mm or 650B x 52mm tyres and with cable routing for any kind of group set, this bike can be a two wheeled Swiss Army Knife! Add in multiple bottle cage mounting, rack and mudguard mounts and the dependability of a British Standard bottom bracket with Kinesis UK proven geometry and you have a recipe for adventure.

New to the Tripster AT is the Columbus Futura Cross+ Carbon fork. Columbus have been making headway into the premium carbon fork market recently and the newly launched Futura Cross+ fork is the perfect partner to our Tripster AT frame. The Columbus Futura Cross+ Carbon fork is fitted with a ‘flip-chip’ to allow adjustment of the rake of the fork between 47mm and 52mm. Where you place the chip will depend on how you like your Tripster to handle. As a starting point we recommend that if you have a smaller frame and/or are loaded for bike packing, then you will benefit from a longer wheelbase, and so place the chip in the 52mm position.

The Tripster AT All Terrain bike is such a capable and versatile bike that it might well be the one you ride the most of all.

Detailed by Mike Hall.



Mike was more than just a rider for Kinesis. We supported his bike adventures and journeys all over the globe. This collaboration helped us improve the Kinesis adventure range with his insight and feedback.


Last Autumn, following Mike’s return from the Transcontinental Race, he dropped into our office and chanced upon a very early prototype of what would become Tripster AT.


The plan for this frame was to add a value packed adventure bike to our range. The key to this was "All Year, All Terrain, All Fun."


Mike got very excited when he saw the first sample and helped us make a few tweaks, such as the third bottle cage mount on the down tube to give increased bottle access even with a frame bag. Another key point Mike made was a flattened edge on the top tube to stabilise a filled frame bag.


We introduced Mike to our designer Matt Gray and they had many detailed conversations. Mike put across his ideas and a few of his own drawings. (pics below).


• Camouflage the bag straps - so frame still look good with and without bags.

• Consider where bags may go in conjunction with the graphics - making sure they won't be covered up.


Frame Colours:


Mike was very keen on the metallic Blue/Grey paint code that Matt showed him over FaceTime. He wanted something smart and subtle which fitted with his Transcontinental brand and Arran Blue was perfect.


Our Seeon Yellow colour came from a conversation between Rory, Bruce and Mike they wanted to offer something outrageously bright and stand out on hillsides and roads. Mike would of been excited to see the production colour.


For 2019 we’ve added two new colours: Harris Green, named after the mottled greens found in the lichens and mosses on the Scottish island of Harris, and Outrageous Orange, simply outlandish visibility!


We had so much in the pipeline working with Mike, it’s a massive shame that it got cut short.


It was an honour too have had the opportunity to work with Mike on the Tripster AT.

Choosing the correct bike size for you depends on the type of bike your after, your height, your riding style, and your preference of fit.

A correct fitting bike will provide a more comfortable, more efficient and more fun ride.

Kinesis’s bike size guide gives you some general advice on choosing the right size. It is a guide only and we always recommend visiting one of our stores or contacting one of our experts from our contact us page.

To get started, think about your style of riding, measure your height and see the sizing guide below.

However there is no substitute for good old fashioned advice from your local bike shop, we have a list of dealers here and they will be able to help you with your sizing and bike setup prior to building it.

Unhurried - Scotland Coast to Coast on the John Muir Way by Markus Stitz - featuring the Kinesis Tripster AT

Cycling Weekly - Editor's Choice Award 2017

What we enjoyed most about this bike was the way it allowed us to easily come up with new routes on the fly, linking together familiar road sections with everything in between. This is exactly the type of versatility the Tripster AT is designed to allow.

It’s comfortable to ride on road, but its real forte is the ability to head onto bridleways and trails where you can tackle tricky terrain with confidence.

At £1700 as built, the Kinesis Tripster AT looks like a good deal for a bike with so much versatility



Road.cc – 9/10 – Gravel, Adventure, Cyclocross Bike of the Year 2017/18

“An excellent and affordable do-it-all adventure, road and commuting bike with bags of versatility”

Full Review Here



Kinesis has designed a really nice bike in the Tripster AT. It's taken the best bits from the more expensive Tripster ATR and reimagined it in aluminium, and added some useful features along the way.

It's a frameset that offers a multitude of build options from a fast road commuter to a large-tyred bikepacking setup for bigger adventures.

Add in the great value and it's easy to see why the Kinesis walked off with the award this year.
