Kinesis has announced updated build kit specifications to its Racelight T2 and Decade Convert2 models, which could be just the ticket for those of you thinking of investing in a new winter bike now that the evenings are drawing in.
The Racelight T2 frame, which Kinesis says are also popular as lightweight tourers, year-round race bikes and Audax bikes, come in new sizes and colours, with a choice of either an Alloy or Carbon fork.
Based around Shimano Tiagra gearing, other components include Mavic CXP22 rims, an FSA Gossamer crankset, FSA IS-2 headset, Tektro brakes and a carbon seat post. Prices are a bike to work scheme-friendly £999.99 for the Alloy fork version, and £1,069.99 if you prefer Carbon.
The winter build version of the Decade Convert2 comes with a similar spec, sharing the most of the same components as the Racelight T2, and comes in at £964.99. We’ve previously reviewed the fixed version of the Decade Convert2, which you’ll find here.

Finally, Kinesis has also announced a new monocoque carbon fork specifically designed for cyclo-cross. Called the RC09, the company says that an optional brake hanger, together with the shape of the blade, “allows powerful, judder free braking that is just not possible with other manufacturers, outdated designs”. The fork weighs in at 460g and costs £249.99, while the brake hanger is sold separately for £9.99.
