During the development of the Tripster AT all terrain frame we also worked closely with the late Mike Hall in the design process and gained from Mike s knowledge and love of long distance, multi-terrain riding. The final production model features a number of enhancements thanks to Mike s input and you can see this referenced on the frame graphics. Under Additional Info. tab is an email form Mike showing his input on the graphical styling of the Tripster AT.Tough yet lightweight 7046 series Kinesium tube set with tapered machined headtube31.8mm seat tube for 27.2mm seat post (will add a bit of compliancy)All new colour matched Columbus Futura Carbon fork with 12mm thru axleInboard Shimano Flat-mount disc mounts on frame and frame and fork (maximum 160mm rotors)Seat stay mounts for mudguards and pannier racks.

Add in multiple bottle cage mounting, rack and mudguard mounts and the dependability of a British Standard bottom bracket with Kinesis UK proven geometry and you have a recipe for adventure.New to the Tripster AT is the Columbus Futura Cross fork. Columbus have been making headway into the premium carbon fork market recently and the newly launched Futura Cross fork is the perfect partner to our Tripster AT frame. The Columbus Futura fork is fitted with a flip-chip to allow adjustment of the rake of the fork between 47mm and 52mm. Where you place the chip will depend on how you like your Tripster to handle. As a starting point we recommend that if you have a smaller frame and/or are loaded for bike packing, then you will benefit from a longer wheelbase, and so place the chip in the 52mm position. The Tripster AT All Terrain bike is such a capable and versatile bike that it might well be the one you ride the most of all.Size Chart:
