..."a
fun ride that simply made us smile every time - and you can't
ask much more of a bike than that".
"...laced together with tidy tig welds, then wrapped
in quite the loveliest paint job we've seen this year".
"...a balanced bike with plenty of poise, that hides
a cheeky side; it really is a whole load of fun to ride...we
wonder why more stock bikes aren't made this way". Jenn

Full
review from WHAT MOUNTAIN BIKE NOV. 2009
This is a true, purpose designed, female fit XC mountain bike
frame. As with our new female/junior fit KR-210L road frame,
it has been designed from the ground up to work for female
riders and is not simply a ‘scaled down’ standard
MTB frame. See an example of a built
bike.
A smaller, lighter rider does not require the same tubing
as the average male racer. The KM-210L uses lighter and smaller
dia. chain and seat stays, hourglass shaped for comfort and
clearance and a thin wall, large dia. down tube for torsional
stiffness.
The frame is light and responsive and smooths out the ride
for lower weight riders.
A shorter top tube is important for comfortable reach from
seat to bars, as is a smaller frame height for more standover
clearance.

The KM-210L has four sizes from 35 to 48cm and virtual top
tubes of 52 to 57cm, it also has short head tubes to minimise
standover and stack height.
The Kinesis, 7005 series, double butted alloy tubes are beautifully
tig welded and the frame is suitable for an 80 to 100mm travel
suspension fork.
