Here are a few pics from Core Bike to cheer up your Monday morning. They show the ‘nearly final’ prototype 29er from Kinesis. Like its stablemates, the Crosslight and Racelight, it’ll be called the Maxlight and should be out late spring. This bike here is unpainted and had stickers glued on it, but the final version will come in three colours.
Kinesis UK is very excited about the new bike and reckon it’s going to be a ‘grin inducing… trail destroyer’ for aggressive trail riders. So expect to be able to run 120mm forks and a dropper post if you like. Geometry is a fast 72/74. It’ll come in black, grey and green and will cost £499.99 for the frame, or there’ll be a number of ‘chassis’ part builds which will include the neat carbon rigid fork or an X-Fusion suspension fork. Reynolds carbon trail wheels are also a possibility…

Won’t the brake mount require more spoons?
Near enough how it’s going to look. Only it’ll have paint…
Shame – I’m not a fan of the look of most Maxlight frames, but this one looks great with graphics-over-raw.
Any more info on geo? ett, chainstay etc?
