The Simplicity

 A simple bike means that it is easy to maintain. This means that you can focus on shredding rather than fixing. So how do you achieve simplicity in design when working on a very complicated product. The first step is to really identify what you are trying to achieve. When you take a step back and really understand what the product is and why it needs to do what it does. We can find that in every scenario simplicity is better.  When Kinematic Designs a product we do so without any marketing gimmicks in mind. We design bikes that are functional, beautiful, and easy to maintain so that you can get on the trails more. The single pivot design of...

Manufacturing Bicycles

At Kinematic all our frames are designed by degreed engineers in the United States using advanced modeling and simulation software. We have been able to leverage our classical engineering training to produce some of the sickest bikes within the performance gearbox space. Our manufacturers are fully vetted and boast over 20 years of experience tig welding titanium frame bicycles. All our frames are made from TIG welded grade 9 titanium. All our testing exceeds the standards set by CPSC.

PINION BICYCLE GEARBOXES

  PINION CORE TECHNOLOGY Pinion gearbox technology functions on the basis of spur gearing with two gearing sub-units connected on the output end. The combination of gearing sub-units with their different gear pairs generates the individual gears. These are evenly spaced in gearshift steps that make ergonomic sense for the particular application range, depending on the type of gearbox. Pinion has no gear overlaps. Low efficiency values and chain wear are also unknown with Pinion gearbox technology. Furthermore, we achieve transmission ratios of more than 630 percent, meaning you can select the perfect gear for any situation. All gears can be shifted in succession or skipped in whatever steps you require. It doesn’t matter in this case whether the bicycle...

Titanium for Bikes

Are titanium bikes worth the hype? The short answer is yes. If you are a fan of steel bicycles you will love titanium. While steel is real Ti is fly and will change your life. This is because titanium has very similar strength properties to steel but has the weight of aluminum.  Titanium has an excellent ride quality because of the flexibility compared to aluminum and carbon fiber. Kinematic.Bike’s frame design utilizes the flexible nature of titanium to provide smooth all day comfort in the saddle. Titanium is the ideal balance between performance and comfort.   Titanium is also corrosion resistant which cannot be said for a steel bike frame which will begin to rust if the finish is worn...

Dave's Kinematic Coyote Story

My move up to the pacific northwest made me realize I needed a bike that would hold up to a ton of riding as well as the mud and rain.  The kinematic coyote is a bike built to last and withstand the harshest environments. The bike always seems ready to go and requires almost no maintenance.  After looking over the coyote’s spec sheet and seeing the titanium frame and sealed pinion gear box I felt confident this bike would never let me down.  I haven’t had a single problem with the bike! The bike still shifts and rides like the first time I got on it. The pinion drive gear box performs much better than a standard derailleur.  Being able to...
