If you're not a regular Singletrack Mountain Bike Magazine website reader, you might have missed this terrific recent first ride review on the new and improved Kinesis UK Tripster AT. With some great quotes, it's a terrific summary of this best ever version of one of Kinesis's most loved gravel framesets:

"First things first – I loved it. Its geometry is way more race-focused than my super-slack Marin Gestalt, and the more tucked body position and narrower bars just cried out for fast pedalling. I love any bike that begs to go fast as soon as you get on it, and for an alloy frameset, it feels very light and tight." - Singletrack

"Overall, I loved this bike. It’s fast, light, comfortable and easy to climb on, without ever feeling skittish or unsteady, and it handled everything I threw at it without a murmur of complaint." - Singletrack

Stan's has been engineering tubeless for over 25 years. Rolled Gold is what that expertise produces when it's focused directly on the demands of road and gravel riding: wider tyres, varied pressures, riders who can't afford to stop. Purpose-built formula. Smaller dose than any competitor. Biodegradable. Made in the USA. Purpose-built. Not adapted.
