The Kinesis Tripster AT all terrain adventure bike takes our years of experience gained with the now legendary Tripster ATR and our range of championship winning cyclocross bikes, to create a bike capable of almost all terrains, gravel and adventures.
During the development of the Tripster AT all terrain bike 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.
New to the Tripster AT is the Columbus Futura Cross 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 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 Kinesis Tripster AT bike is fitted with our renowned Kinesis Crosslight wheelset, which have been designed in mind for punishing ‘cross courses, all day gravel epics and bike packing adventures. The Crosslight wheels are fitted with Schwalbe’s G-One All Round 38c gravel tyres, and are mounted to the frame using our GW Switch Lever axle system.
We have finished the Tripster AT bike with components from legendary manufacturer Ritchey. The handlebar is their popular EvoMax Comp, whilst the seat post and handlebar stem are from their Comp range.
The groupset is the always dependable Sram 1x system, using a combination of Sram Rival 1 and Apex 1. Gear ratios are low with an 11-42 cassette and a 40t chainring, giving you even more than a 1 to 1 ratio for loaded climbing
Use it as a commuter bike, gravel bike, ride bridleways, go bike packing on it, ride across continents on it. The Tripster AT adventure bike will take all of this in its stride and more.

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.
Testimonial: by James Spencer, March 2020
"My mate Dave and I wanted to try out the gravel bikes with the Lezyne luggage on a local trip in the Peak District.
The Peak District national park has a great mix of off road from old railway trails to serious full-sus-only high level routes.
We set off Friday afternoon from north of Bakewell travelling south utilising the network of old railways such as the Monsal Trail and the Tissington Trail.
Finished in the dark but had the Lezyne Mega Drive 1800i so was actually like daylight!
Day two was circa 50 miles on more mixed terrain including a gnarly climb that I have only ever done on the MTB before.
Despite the very loose surface which had been washed out by the recent rains the Tripster climbed this admirably.
It was a great weekend and we really covered a lot of ground on these bikes.
The luggage was great, fitted the bike well and although adding a little extra weight the handling of the bikes was unaffected.
The Tripster is very agile and climbs like a mountain goat.
The brakes were great in the wet conditions and special mention to the tyres which never seem like a compromise – fast enough on the tarmac but grippy enough to give confidence on the gravel and never losing it in the corners.
