UK’s Kinesis Bikes recently released volume 3 of the titanium Tripster ATR with added tire clearance and the new carbon Range fork with additional load carrying mounts…

The titanium Kinesis Tripster ATR (Adventure Tour Race) has been around for a while and recently saw quite a few changes for its third iteration. Based on the updates, the Tripster ATR V3 appears to be more capable for off-road exploits, on paper, at least. First off, it now has improved tire clearance for 700c x 45mm or 650b x 50mm tires. Other frame changes include a new cold drawn seamless 3Al/2.5V titanium tube set, and machined headtube, which Kinesiss claims adds to its strength and rider comfort. It also gets a new seatstay junction for added strength and flattened seat stays for improved vibration damping. The ATR V3 also comes with the brand new Kinesis Range Fork, a carbon fork with triple mount bosses for more load carrying options. Here are photos and the spec list followed by more details.

A couple other tweaks on the Kinesis Tripster ATR V3 are improved cable routing provided by an exit window on the downtube, outer cable stops that replace the downtube opening, and a plastic cable guide for lower maintenance. Kinesis also improved the fit for a wider range of riders. The two smallest sizes have a semi sloping top tube for greater seat post extension and comfort. They’ve also given them longer reaches (recommended with shorter stems) for less toe overlap on smaller sizes.
