Kinesis G2 Gravel Bike – The Ultimate Multitasker for Road & Dirt

Why choose between road speed and off-road capability when you can have both? The Kinesis G2 Gravel Bike is engineered around a simple but powerful premise: one bike to conquer everything the elements throw at you. Born from the legendary DNA of the Kinesis Tripster series, the G2 delivers a ride that is nippier than a traditional gravel cruiser, more comfortable than a stiff cyclocross racer, and vastly more versatile than a standard road disc bike.

Core Benefits & Product Description

The Kinesis G2 is the definitive "go-to" machine for the all-season, all-terrain rider. Whether you are using it as a dependable weekly winter commuter, loading it up for a weekend bikepacking escape, or diving down singletrack shortcuts to escape heavy traffic, the G2 responds with snappy acceleration and incredibly composed handling.

At its heart sits a beautifully crafted, double-butted 6061 aluminium frame paired with a matching full UD carbon adventure fork. Kinesis has utilized its innovative Rider Fit Design geometry, creating a low bottom bracket for maximum stability on loose gravel, combined with shorter chainstays that keep the bike feeling incredibly quick and lively when you are plugging away out on the open asphalt.

True to its British design heritage, practicality is built right into the frame. Featuring clean, rattle-free internal cable routing, a bulletproof threaded BSA bottom bracket that shrugs off muddy trails, and built-in mounts for a full rear pannier rack and mudguards, the G2 transitions effortlessly from a stripped-back trail explorer into a rugged commuter.

Key Features & Technical Highlights

• SRAM Apex 1x11 Drivetrain: Enjoy the simplicity and absolute chain security of a single-ring setup. The SRAM Apex 1 groupset features a clutch rear derailleur and a narrow-wide X-Sync chainring to ensure your chain stays locked in place over the roughest farm tracks.
• Powerful Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Haul down speed with complete confidence. The SRAM Apex hydraulic flat-mount brakes, combined with 160mm rotors front and rear, deliver modulation and stopping power regardless of rain, mud, or heavy luggage loads.
• Generous 45mm Tyre Clearance: The updated frame design provides plenty of room to run plush 700x45c tyres (or 42c with full mudguards attached), allowing you to run lower pressures for maximum off-road grip and vibration damping.
• Tubeless-Ready Wheel System: Comes equipped with sturdy, high-spoke Sector/Jalco tubeless-compatible rims laced to ultra-durable Novatec cartridge bearing hubs, wrapped in benchmark Schwalbe G-One Allround TLE gravel tyres.
• Proportionate Cockpit Componentry: To optimize handling across all sizes, the G2 utilizes flared alloy handlebars that widen progressively by size, paired with size-specific stem and crank lengths to guarantee a tailored fit out of the box.
