The Kinesis KM220L is a ladies specific hardtail bike, and its got glowing reviews from the bike mags. Â We built one up and took it on quite a few rides. Â Our verdict is that the reviewers were right, its very light thanks to the smaller size specific tubing and new ‘Kinesium’ tubing used. Â It’s also responsive, the very stiff frame helping get all your effort through the pedals and to where it counts – this thanks to the down tube being flared and flattened where it meets the bottom bracket. Â The geometry is spot on with a shortened top tube making for an easy reach for the shorter female torso.
