Perhaps Kinesis think using two bottles in shower or especially hot weather is a bit Timotei.
Or perhaps their design team think a hardtail can make do with a full sus front mech design.
If you want a hardtail frame, a hardtail front mech and two bottles to drink from on a long ride then avoid Kinesis at all costs.
(this is just my learned discovery)
please feel free to give advise that won't cost me more money.
