The XC Pro 2 uses the same super lightweight, oversize Kinesium tubing as the XC Pro. The down tube is Aero profile at the top and changes to a large oval section at the machined BB for maximum stiffness and weld area, the top tube is teardrop section near the head tube changing to round and then square section at the seat tube junction. This custom drawn tubing allows us to optimise tubing wall thickness, giving a super light frame, which retains strength and stiffness at the crucial areas.
'Tuned carbon wishbone' seatstays, we have developed these stays in conjunction with Kinesis International to match the characteristics of the XC Pro 2 frame perfectly, the stays are direct in response to drive and allow some vertical compliance for comfort.
New lightweight CNC machined dropouts mate to stiff, hydroformed chainstays making sure no power is wasted.
The XC Pro 2 stack height is kept low by the use of a new Zero stack headtube, the larger dia. of this tube also adds weld area, meaning greater strength and stiffness, further enhanced by the box head tube gusset.
